On Dedication

We dedicated our newly rebuilt chapel today.
Two Apostles came.
President Boyd K. Packer
and
President Henry B. Eyring.
Both have strong connections to Boston
and to the building we dedicated.

The meeting was beautiful.
The messages were poignant.
Dedicate the building, then
dedicate your lives.
Both to the service of the Master.

When the hymns were sung,
my heart rejoiced,
and I imagined angels looking down from heaven
singing along with us.
Surely those strains pierced the veil
and thousands in a heavenly choir
joined us today
singing Hosannah to God and the Lamb.

I thought it would take a while
to feel like our building was home again.
But it didn't.
And we are glad to be home.

This Father's Day, my heart fills with gratitude,
for an earthly father
who is loving and supportive,
and for a Heavenly Father
who knows our needs, answers our prayers,
and sends His Spirit to guide our lives.
