Bringing the Peace of the Temple into Your Home

By Becky Squire

Life can get really busy for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Between work, school, church callings, and family needs, it’s easy to feel like we’re running in a hundred different directions. That’s one reason why the temple is so special! It’s a place where we can slow down, feel peace, and remember what really matters. But what if we could bring a little bit of that peace home with us?

That’s where the idea of creating a sacred space in your home comes in. You don’t need a huge room or a fancy setup. Just a small corner where you can feel the Spirit and remember your connection to the temple can make a big difference.

Why Sacred Spaces Matter

Temples are sacred because they are the house of the Lord. We go there to make important covenants, feel close to God, and receive personal inspiration. But we can feel the Spirit outside the temple too. When we create a place in our home that reminds us of the temple, it helps us stay focused on our goals and keep our covenants in mind every day.

Start with a Temple Replica

One easy way to bring the feeling of the temple into your home is by displaying a temple replica. Tiny 3D Temples has over 250 temples to choose from, so you can pick one that means something special to you, like the one where you got married or the one you hope to visit someday.

These little models are beautifully made and look great in any space. More importantly, they serve as a daily reminder of your faith and commitment. Even just seeing a temple replica on your shelf or desk can help you refocus on what’s most important.

Set Up a Peaceful Spot

If you want to go a step further, you can create a small space in your home for spiritual things. This doesn’t have to be a whole room. It could be a corner in your bedroom, a chair by the window, or a quiet spot in the living room. Here are a few ideas to make it special:

• Add your scriptures and a journal so they’re easy to reach.

• Hang up a favorite picture of the Savior or a temple.

• Include a temple music light or soft lamp for a peaceful glow.

• Use a comfy chair or cushion where you’ll actually want to sit and study or pray.

Make It a Family Thing

Your sacred space doesn’t have to be just for you! Let your family be part of it. Kids can help choose a temple replica, draw pictures of the temple, or even help decorate the space. You can hold family prayers or short lessons there to help make it meaningful for everyone.

Keep It Special

To help the space stay sacred, use it often. Keep it clean and tidy. Talk with your family about showing respect in that area. You can even refresh it once in a while by adding new pictures or study tools.

We may not be able to go to the temple every day, but we can still feel its peace at home. Creating a sacred space with a temple replica and some simple touches can help you and your family feel closer to the Lord throughout the week.
