A Golden Ticket

I'm sure we all remember watching Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory. I was singing the golden ticket song the other day and keep repeating the phrase, I've got a golden ticket, I've got a golden ticket, and all the sudden it hit me! Only Charlie and a few other kids got golden tickets in this movie and only one. I remember how everyone wanted to find a golden ticket and how I even wished I could some how receive one, even though I was watching a movie. But I have know realized that I have received my golden ticket along time ago and not only have I received one golden ticket but I have been given many.

Can you guess what the Golden Tickets are?

Here's a hint, not only me or a select few can have them but everyone can have Lots!

One more clue, I was given one when I turned 8.

You guessed it! Golden tickets in my world are:
  • Baptism
  • The Priesthood
  • Temple Marriage
  • Repentance
  • The Sacrament
  • Baby Blessing (any kind of blessing)

It was like a bright light all the sudden turning on in my head, Bam! Golden Tickets! I love Bam moments, it's got to be one of my new favorite things. I also love all the golden ticket moments that we get to experience all through out our life's, good or bad.
