Jesus Christ, Judge
Psalms 135:14
For the Lord will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.
Book of Mormon
2 Nephi 9:1-26
Jacob explains that the Jews will be gathered in all their lands of promise - The Atonement ransoms man from the Fall - The bodies of the dead will come forth from the grave, and their spirits from hell and from paradise - They will be judged...
"Come Follow Me"
2 Nephi 10:20, 23-25 Because of the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ, I can "cheer up" my heart.
"Standing By Our Promises and Covenants"
Elder Ronald A. Rasband
"The gathering is the most important thing taking place on earth today, President Nelson has said as he has traveled the world. "When we speak of the gathering, we are simply saying this fundamental truth: every one of our Heavenly Father's children, on both sides of the veil, deserves to hear the message of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ."
I prayed this morning that Mario would accept James's contract and that they would be able to start work within the next two weeks.
James took off $1800 per house, there are two, and submitted it. He still has not heard back. That's the best he can do. He can't work for nothing.
James went to town this morning to look at cabinets and countertops for Mario's job. He wanted me to go with him but I needed to stay home and finish Valentines for Ben, Stacy, Kim, Sheri, Darrel and families. I am spending a lot of time coloring a Valentine message of love. It is simple but sincere.
To Ben and his fellow missionaries.
On the back it says:
Hurray for Israel, hurray for the gathering,
We love missionaries!
When James returned he came in carrying four books from the post office for me to inventory and sell, and with my prescription. He made the comment about how muddy the roads were. He said he had tried to go through the carwash but was discouraged at both places, Circle K and Splash and Dash. Splash and Dash told him there was so much mud that the brushes would scratch his car trying to get it off. He forgot to get gas for the power sprayer so he can't wash it at home either. I listened but didn't really pay much attention to the car outside.
James came in, had some lunch, and laid down to take a nap.
I continued finishing up my Valentines. I finished everyone's except Kim and Brian's. I will finish theirs and mail it tomorrow morning. Better late than never, right?
I needed to make it to the post office before 4 so I hurried and got ready and went out to the car around 3:30. I don't think I've ever seen Lexy this dirty.
There were so many spots on the windshield
it was difficult to see, especially with the
afternoon sun shining directly at me.
I was upset and James could tell I was upset. I made it to the post office and mailed my Valentines and headed for Dollar General to get ingredients to make Rice Krispy treats and to get a birthday gift for Benson Grapp.
The store was a mess. Very few Valentines left and stuff all over the floor and in the aisle. I did find a gift for Benson and a Valentine and some candy for James. Oh yes, I found a receipt from Walmart for $100 in the car. When I asked James what it was for, he said, your Valentine "surprise." Now I really feel guilty for being upset with him.
When I am stressed I eat and today I ate 3 sugar cookies. I am pretty disgusted with myself. This wasn't my best day ever.
James helped me put sheets on our bed and Kim and Brian's bed downstairs. I finished putting the sheets on the bed in James's office and checked each room because Adam and friends are coming up tomorrow night.
I am sad to say I cleaned up 15 dead wasps in Sheri and Ian's room. That is the room Kaitlyn stays in. I asked James if we had a bug bomb and he said no. No time to go get one either. I picked up one wasp who still had enough life left in him to sting me through the tissue I was holding him with. That hurt!
All I wanted to do this evening was study The Restoration and update my Inklings and Come Follow Me. Instead I walked, and bought three books and worked on "Come Follow Me" for 30 minutes. Where does the time go.
I am listening to "The Saints" volume one. It is a vivid reminder of the sacrifices that were made to restore the gospel by so many, especially Joseph Smith and his family. I am humbled by the sincerity and devotion of so many and shocked by the opposition and how evil some people can be.
James found some old photos and sent
them to me:
Inklings study of DC 107
goes along with the one I am reading,
"Cornerstones of the Restoration"
sweetheart.
This was a video, it was so touching.
I sold this book today and James mailed if for me.
Merchant fulfilled.
