This picture is of The Sacred Grove where Joseph Smith prayed and received a visitation from Heavenly Father and His son Jesus Christ. I have never been there, but I hear that it truly is beautiful and as peaceful as it appears in this picture.
It is considered a sacred place because of what happened there.
But like I said, I have never been there.
So, where is MY sacred place? Where do I go when I want to reach out to my Father in Heaven? I have learned over the years that I have found myself pleading to my Heavenly Father for answers to my prayers whenever I need Him, not necessarily wherever I need Him. Or both, really. I have learned that it's not WHERE I am praying but what happens there WHEN I'm praying.
It's most often in my little office off my bedroom. I would call it my Sacred Grove. I read my scriptures here. I read church news and all church material here. I say my prayers in hear. It's a room of peace and solitude. There are no trees, or bushes or outdoor beauties. But it has, on it's walls, things that are beautiful and sacred to me. I feel the spirit in here. My Sacred Grove.
And I come here every day and spend much of my day in here. I'm loving the HAVING to stay at home, so I find myself drawn to this room even more than usual.
Peace inside the four walls of my home.
