A store full of blessings

Today I cried through the whole temple session.
Not even the NEW new movie could distract my heart from feeling sad.
I have TWO kids that have their mission calls and are ready to go through the temple for their first time....but their dad recently has had his temple recommend revoked.
This should be a time that my JOY is doubly full but instead my sorrow is doubled.
My kids are trying to decide if they are going to wait until dad has his recommend back or just go through without him.
How nice of them to consider the feelings of their dad when he didn't consider their feelings before choosing to act out all these years.
If they go through the temple without their dad, I will be crying... again..... through another session---- It would have been so sweet to be the escort for my daughter and have my husband as the escort for my son during the same session. -----A dad should be the one to guide his family through this sacred experience.

During the prayer-circle prayer as I was thinking about how my joys are becoming sorrows, I tuned into the prayer and heard ".....and please bless those that have come to the temple today seeking a special blessing that they may know that there is a store full of blessings waiting for them if they are obedient to the covenants that they have made."

I know this is true.

"For after much tribulation come the blessings.." D&C 58:4

(I hope the blessings are doubled.) :)
