This is the Cabin we stayed in while in Nauvoo. It was a great cabin and we sure enjoyed our stay. The owners were really great too.
Night or day the Nauvoo Temple is the most beautiful temple ever!!! As I stood up on the hill and looked across the river the thought came to me of how the Saints must of felt to leave their beloved prophet behind and to see their Beautiful Temple going up in flames. The sadness they must have felt to see something they worked so hard on being desecrated by the mob. Not knowing what was ahead of them, but knowing they must do as the Lord commanded and go west ward to start new lives. What faith they must have had. To have that kind of faith today.
Great pictures. And I believe we have that kind of faith today, just in a different way. How easy would it be to give up to the despair of the world? But we don't!
