Object lesson
Show the young women an unusual tool or implement. Choose one that they are not familiar with. Let them guess what it may be used for. Then briefly explain its use and value.
Explain that the young women probably had not realized how valuable this tool was until they learned of its use. The temple endowment could be likened to a tool. We cannot realize its great importance and use in our lives until we learn its purpose.
“You can’t help but leave the temple feeling uplifted. You learn charity and love and compassion. You leave the cares of the day outside the doors of the temple, and when you go out, your feet are led to the paths you’ve been searching for to help you with some problem you might have.
“After you make covenants, you’re not pulled to and fro by the world so easily. It’s a strength to your life and helps you to keep righteous goals.”
“As you come to the sacredness of the temple, you take yourself out of the world. You can forget yourself in the work you’re doing.”
“You get a perspective of your life that puts it in order for you. And the experience in the temple is supportive of the LDS way of life. It gives you a backup, a reassurance that what you’re doing is righteous” (quoted in Kathleen Lubeck, “Preparing for the Temple Endowment,” New Era, Feb. 1987, p. 11).
