A couple times a month I volunteer for a shift in the LDS Temple near my house.
During my shift this weekend we talked about some
interesting concepts in our preparation meeting. We talked about the goal of
doing our service in the temple so that we are invisible. Not to truly be
invisible, but to do our responsibilities well so that we are not distracting
those who come from worshiping with God. I liked that idea a lot.
Another thought that was shared was that we’re learning to
be angels through our service in the temple. We’re learning how to serve others
and to do God’s will.
As I pondered throughout my shift on these thoughts they
merged in my head – the concept of being an invisible angel.
The more I thought
about it, the more I liked it. And the more I thought that really the goal
conveyed in the idea of being an invisible angel is to be a pure conduit of Gods love to those around us.
What a
cool goal. Everyone can use some more love and understanding and compassion in
their life!
