Blessing Quote by D. Todd Christofferson
“One of the blessings of the temple is the perspective that it provides. When we go to the house of the Lord, we leave all of our cares and problems at the door. And when we come back out, they’re still there. We have to pick them back up and they haven’t changed, but what has changed is us.”

Temples offer a spiritual shift; leaving problems at the door changes the person, not the problems.
In simple terms: Temples change us, not our problems.
Seek spiritual perspective.
