Beautiful sight!

Today I've been thinking about Temples. I've been driving to Salt Lake more for work but I love that I can see 5 temples during my commute! Temples provide wonderful blessings and peace for those worthy to go inside. Seeing them helps remind me of the covenants and promises I've made with my Heavenly Father. If you want to learn more about temples click here. This is what I get to see on my drive to Salt Lake. In the morning the first temple I see is the Timpanogos Temple:
(I found this picture online)
As I come around the point of the mountain I see the
Jordan River Temple
(Also an online picture)
Followed by the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. I took this picture of the Oquirrh Mountain temple last week when I spent a Saturday afternoon there.
When I get far enough north I can see the Salt Lake Temple in the downtown area. I took this picture a few years ago when I was visiting Temple Square with my family.
Driving home in the evening I enjoy seeing the Draper Temple.
(Yep, this one is courtesy of google too)
I love to see so many temples. I know it's a fulfillment of the prophesy that Temples with dot the earth. Salt Lake is the only place in the world where you can see 3 temples at the same time (Draper, Oquirrh Mountain, and Jordan River). It gets even better knowing that if I drive a little farther north I could see the Bountiful Temple or if I go a little farther south at night I'd see the Provo Temple. I feel blessed to live close to so many temples!
