It doesn't take much to make a temple stunning—its inherent physical and spiritual light literally make it glow with radiance.
But add a fresh layer of snow and these holy houses begin looking more like winter wonderlands or something straight out of a fairytale. So, take a moment to enjoy the angelic beauty of the temple and reflect a little on our Savior, our Heavenly Father, Their love for us, and how all of that is embodied in holy temples and the magic of this season.

This. All. Day. I really do love snow, from the indoors 😊❄️ "Decisions now to exercise faith and be steady in obedience will in time produce great faith and assurance. That is the spiritual preparedness we all will need. And it will qualify us in the moments of crisis to receive the Lord’s promise that 'if ye are prepared ye shall not fear.' "That will be true when we face the storms of life." --President Henry B.

Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. This Christmas I've been thinking a lot about the atonement and how absolutely AMAZING God's grace is. He sent his only begotten son to the earth so that EVERYONES sins can be forgiven and we can return to Him someday. So it really is a great 'Joy to the World' and I am just so excited to know this!!! #LDS #saltlaketemple #christmas A photo posted by Carrie Kuhn (@carrie.kuhn) on Dec 15, 2015 at 8:56pm PST
"This Christmas season we celebrate the greatest gift of all, the one that makes all other gifts possible—the birth of the babe of Bethlehem. Because of Him, 'the grave hath no victory, and the sting of death is swallowed up in Christ. He is the light and the life of the world; yea, a light that is endless, that can never be darkened.'" -President Dieter F.
