Temples and Tide Pens - Go With The PROS

Meaning to give my keyboard a good cleaning for quite some time, I decided today was the day!

The title intrigued me because I'm all about natural and "easy" cleaning. ;)

He was right. It just took a minute but I had so many thoughts of spiritual applications:

Sometimes our spirits become grimy 

 from daily exposure to things of this world. 

Daily build up can diminish our ability to hear the whisperings of the Spirit and promptings from the Lord that enrich our lives so much when we hear them and act on them. 

The temple can be our "Tide Pen" to cleanse away the daily grime.

Just like the keys were cleansed from exposure to the cleansing agent, 
our spirits can be cleansed from exposure to the light of the Lord in the temple.

We can keep our spirits "clean" daily using products around the house. 

We can "Go with the PROS" as our Stake Theme suggests:

Pray daily

Read scriptures daily

Obey daily

Serve daily

And one WITHOUT using anything around the house... Fasting monthly. 

I bear testimony that the Lord, through the gift of the Atonement, has made it possible for us to keep our Spirits clean and unspotted from the world. A gift we can thank Him for daily as we repent and recommit to remember Him and His sacrifice on our behalf. 

I thank him reverently...
