A Day of Rest

During our trip to California, we made the choice to be intentional with our Sabbath Day. That meant going to church (even on vacation), spending time with family, and going to the LA Temple. 

Of course, it was hot, so the interior of the Visitor's Center was very welcome. We watched church videos 

and built temples with the toys.

And we had to take a picture (or 7) the Christus statue, 

beach-y edition. 

In spite of the heat, we took a couple of minutes to walk the grounds, as well.

(Caleb wanted a picture of himself "meditating" in front of the temple.)

We sought shade wherever we could find it. 

I have come to realize how vital rest can be, 

and our Sunday - our day of rest - was a lovely oasis in a very busy couple of weeks.
