That morning we were planning to meet up with an old friend who moved to Atlanta. The Atlanta temple had an open house during that week, as a precursor to its rededication. We had planned to quietly sneek away and visit with her.
However, after I confessed tony cousin that we were members of the CoJCoLDS, I couldn't help but add that there was an open house in the local temple for that entire week and that this would be a very rare opportunity to visit a place outsiders can't enter after the dedication.
I suggested he visit there if he had the chance and added that we were headed that way ourselves. To my surprise, he suggested he join us for the open house.
It was great. We had a great time with our friend, who almost collapsed when she heard my wife was called as RSP, and my cousin got a glimpse into the Temple.
I must confess that I had been warned, but did not understand the message... What do I mean? Observe:
As I was thinking and praying about the trip (prior to deciding to go), I got a strong prompting that I should go and I should keep myself open for a new opportunity. Silly me thought it was related to a job opportunity. Now I know it was an opportunity to share the Gospel.
I know my cousin is a man who knows and does choose the right. I know he qualifies as a Saint in all but his faith in the path of our Savior. All I can do is praise the man, and praise God for allowing us to reconnect in such a wonderful fashion.
TOTD: We each choose a path, and even wrong choices can show us the right path.
