Since we did not have the opportunity to see the Kirtland Temple yesterday, we went very early this morning. Unfortunately, the Temple Visitor’s Center was not open until 1pm and we needed to travel a good distance to New York today.
The picture you see on the blog today was taken by me this morning. When I looked through the lens of the camera, the clouds, which had been ever present, began to clear and had little rays of sunshine coming through and shining on the Temple. To me, it looked like little beams of heaven.
The bells had chimed at 9:00am. About 9:30am, I observed Teresa walking in the garden by the Temple and looking up at it. The carrollon was playing hymns and I had to capture that serene moment. She was so quiet and thoughtful that I didn’t want to disturb her.
One of the most inspirational things about Kirtland, is the fact that we were walking in the footsteps of not only Joseph Smith and the early Saints, but on the ground of many heavenly visitors. We hated to leave, but are looking forward to our adventures in Palmyra, New York.
