I really wanted to get a shot of the lights on the temple at night just as the sun was setting. So I headed down to the temple and took a few shots while I waited for the lights to turn on. The lights unfortunately didn't turn on that night, but I got some pretty shots with the sunset nonetheless.
As we were just about to leave, I noticed something different about some of the windows in the upper levels of the temple. I zoomed my camera in as far as it could go, and my heart just leapt as I realized that I was looking at stained glass. And then I saw the pattern. Mountains. Just like my mountains that I love so much. The mountains that remind me of the mountains talked about in scriptures that prophets climbed to talk with God. And along with the mountains, waterfalls. symbolizing the Living Water.
I can't wait till we can go inside and get a closer look at these beautiful windows. I feel so blessed that our temple has such beautiful symbolism drawn from the beautiful mountains that all of us who live here love so much! It is amazing to feel like this temple is being built just for me, but also knowing that everyone else who lives here likely feels the same way. Heavenly Father sure knows how to help us feel His love through the little details of our lives and the little details in the temple.
