Regular Temple attendance. That means something different for each of us. There does seem to be a connection with regular Temple attendance, and enjoying/receiving blessings with our name stamped on them, to help us on our mortal trek.
Regular-(adj)---acting or recurring or done in a uniform manner or constantly at a fixed time or interval. Usual, normal, habitual.
******************************************
The temple is a place of revelation. The Lord may here give revelation, and every person may receive revelation to assist him in life. All knowledge, all help come from the Lord, directly or indirectly. Though He may not be there in person, He is there by His Holy Spirit and by earthly men holding the priesthood. By that Spirit they direct the Lord’s work here on earth. Every person who enters this sacred place in faith and prayer will find help in the solution of life’s problems.
--by John A. Widtsoe
