It’s interesting to think of the talent being “the endowment.”

I have also enjoyed thinking of the super-valuable gift that the Lord gives many of us is children (talent = familial-child). We should help them to find spouses and be sealed to those partners in the temple. Thus our one talent becomes two.

Thanks Aaron. I had never before heard the parable of the talents in a temple context, and when it was pointed out to me in passing I immediately made the connection. It was really eye opening.

This was awesome! I’d never thought of it in this way. No wonder they council us to go again and again to the temple.

Thanks for sharing this.
