Jesus Christ, Ascension of
3 Nephi 18:39
And while they were overshadowed he departed from them, and ascended into heaven. And the disciples saw and did bear record that he ascended again into heaven.
Book of Mormon
3 Nephi 26:1-21
*Are we ready to be judged of our works? (v.4-5)
*In what way does the Savior want us to become as little children?
Young children are sweet, pure, innocent, lovable and teachable. I had an amazing experience with Ruby while she was staying with us. As I watched her saying her prayers one evening, a powerful feeling came over me testifying to me of her purity and innocence. I truly felt that I was in the presence of greatness and with someone who was more like the Savior than just about anyone else I knew. Tears came to my eyes. We can truly be taught by children.
*How did the Nephites demonstrate their faith in Christ's words after He had departed from them? (v.19-21)
They did what Jesus taught them to do. They taught and served one another, and practiced the law of consecration. They had all things in common among them every man dealing justly one with another. They were baptized in the name of Jesus and were called the Church of Christ.

Repentance Is Always Positive
Stephen W. Owen
"Repentance is our escape route! As Elder D. Todd Christofferson explained: 'Without repentance, there is no real progress or improvement in life. ...Only through repentance do we gain access to the atoning grace of Jesus Christ and salvation. Repentance...points us to freedom, confidence, and peace.'"
James left early this morning to go pick up the block for the patio. I got to visit with Sheri before she left for work and tell her what a good night's sleep I had.
When James returns we went to Sam's Club to get the rest of our Christmas blankets. I bought about 25 so I could give one to each of the sisters I visit teach and their husbands and to one other couple in the ward. After our shopping trip we went down to see the Howard's. I gave Jean her conference Ensign and we visited for awhile and James visited with Tom. Tom invited him to a business meeting at Torreon in Show Low next Wednesday and James is excited about going.
We had to cut our visit short so I could make it to my infusion appointment at 11 a.m. I forgot my meds for today so my blood pressure was quite high. My infusion was over in less than an hour so I had to wait for James to pick me up. I walked to Oregano's just north of Southern on Dobson and put my name in for a table. While I was waiting to be seated James showed up and said we didn't have time because he had to pick up the block at the yard. We ran through In n Out and got burgers for lunch.
We picked up the 10,000 lbs of stone at Arizona Stone and we were on our way home. We made it safely to the Safeway in Show Low where James picked up a few groceries, including some eggs so we could make egg salad sandwiches to take to the temple tomorrow.
After unpacking I put six eggs on to boil. James helped me put the sandwiches together and then I packed them into a container and put them in the frig.
We settled down to watch a Christmas movie, "The Christmas Parade" and then Heartland.
I did it!
Has it been four years?
