May 14, 2010 will mark the 23rd anniversary of the day that Steve and I knelt across the alter at the Salt Lake Temple and were sealed together as husband and wife for time and all eternity. It was one of the most profound moments of my life, one that to this day brings tears of joy to my eyes and a huge well of feelings to my heart to think on it. Since then, we have had many opportunities to perform this same ordinance by proxy for many others that have lived, loved and passed on with out being sealed to their beloved. We have had the sacred honor of bringing other families together for eternity so that they may continue their associations of love with one another.This past Friday, Steve and I went to the Bountiful Temple together where we were privileged to perform the sealing ordinance for a number of couples and children to their parents. As I knelt across the alter from Steve and gazed into his eyes, I couldn't help but be in awe of the power of love that I felt for him and FROM him. How lucky and blessed am I to be able to hear over and over the very vows that bind Steve and I together forever. With each recitation of the sacred sealing ordinance, we were reminded of our own covenants with one another and our Father in Heaven--in essence, a renewal of our wedding vows. How romantic is that?
