I have long been wanting to get a picture of the temple to put in Carly's room. She has all sorts of other cute gizmos and gadgets in there, why didn't she have a picture of the House of the Lord?
But I was waiting. Waiting for a super cute picture. Waiting for a super cute frame.
It could wait.
Then in April I was watching General Conference.
“It would be a fine thing if parents would have in every bedroom in their house a picture of the temple so their children from the time they are infants could look at the picture every day until it becomes a part of their life. When they reach the age that they need to make the very important decision concerning going to the temple, it will have already been made.”

I got the strongest feeling not only that it couldn't wait, but that it shouldn't wait.
I found a basic wood frame at a thrift store for $1.

I got a Distribution Center picture of the Bountiful Temple, where Chris and I were married, for $1.50 when I was in Idaho.
I painted the frame the same purple I've used throughout Carly's room.
I can't decide exactly where to put it, so I propped it up on her little table.
Carly walked over to it and touched it softly, then said in a soft yet excited voice:
"Carly's temple!"
My feeling was right.
It couldn't wait.
