My Three White Dresses

My Three White Dresses

My mom bought me a white dress, not red or pink or blue. She said it was a special dress like very other few. There has been just one before, a dress now put away, that I wore some time ago upon my blessing day. As a little baby clothed in my first white dress, my dad held me in his arms, there to name and bless.

So pure and clean was I just then, with time to grow and learn about the Father’s plan for me. My glory I must earn.

Now I’ve reached the age to judge the wrong road from the right, and I am here to be baptized in this dress of white. So once again I’m free from sin. The path is clear to me. I’ll grasp the rod and hold on tight, I vow with certainty. Just as mud would stain my dress, sin would stain my soul. The key is to repent or bleach, for whiteness is my goal.

And if I try my very best, then richly blessed I’ll be, wearing inside God’s holy house white dress number three. So today I make this pledge: I’ll strive to choose the right. Through this sacred baptism ordinance in my second dress of white.

Today I put on my third white dress. I walked through the halls of a building I have dreamed about being in. I made covenants with my Father that I have been longing to make. I had my eyes opened up a little more to what this gospel is all about. Today I went to the temple.  Today I received my endowment. And through it all I enjoyed every moment.It was a fabulous experience that I will never forget.  

 

My young women leader gave this song to me one Sunday long ago, but it has been a favorite ever since and one that touched my heart and continues to do so. 

What Heaven See's in You

It is wonderful knowing that I am a daughter of God and that one day I can return to live with him again. The temple is an amazing place and I can't wait to go back.
