Jesus Christ, Light of the World
3 Nephi 18:24
Therefore, hold up your light that it may shine unto the world. Behold I am the light which ye shall hold up - that which ye have seen me do. Behold ye see that I have prayed unto the Father, and ye all have witnessed.
Book of Mormon/"Come Follow Me"
Alma 57 - Helaman recounts the taking of Antiparah and the surrender and later the defense of Cumeni-His Ammonite striplings fight valiantly; all are wounded, but none are slain - Gid reports the slaying and the escape of the Lamanite prisonsers.
Alma 58 - Helaman, Gid, and Teomner take the city of Manti by a stratagem - The Lamanites withdraw - The sons of the people of Ammon are preserved as they stand fast in defence of their liberty and faith.
April General Conference
"A Good Foundation Against the Time to Come"
Elder Gary E. Stevenson
On one of her social media posts, she wrote that someone had asked her, "How do you still have faith with all the heartache that surrounds you?" She replied firmly with these words: "Because faith is what gets me through these dark times. Having faith doesn't mean nothing bad is going to happen. Having faith allows me to believe that there will be light again. And that light will be even brighter because I have walked through the dark. As much darkness as I have witnessed over the years, I have witnessed far more light. I have seen miracles. I have felt angels. I have known that my Heavenly Father was carrying me. None of that would have been experienced if life was easy. The future of this life may be unknown, but my faith is not. If I choose to not have faith then I choose to only walk in darkness. Because without faith, darkness is all that is left."
Inklings
Blog and books in the morning. Air-fried zucchini and beans for lunch. James and Chuck are compacting the road after the rain. This is the first time a compacter has been available probably because the road paving project is finished.
This afternoon I got ready for company by cleaning the upstairs. James put up my new whiteboard in our bedroom. I'm excited to give it a try. Just as I was finishing cleaning upstairs Sheri called to talk. I was just getting ready to go in and take a shower. Darrel and Trina had just gone through Show Low. I was in the shower when Darrel and Trina arrived. Trina asked if we were home and I had to tell her where I was. Usually I am there to greet them at the front door.
I never made it downstairs to put the clean sheets on the bed in Kim and Brian's room. Trina said they would be happy to do it. Well, at least she knows the sheets are clean.
Lola wanted to plan a tea party and was going to use Rowan's birthday card for the invitations so I got her some of my cards to use. Rowan opened his gift, a cross bow, and he seemed to really like it. He gave me a big hug.
Ruby and I started doing the balloon puzzle but didn't even finish the edge pieces before it was time to go to bed. Addy has online school in the morning, so I guess 10:00 was bedtime.
Trina says it looks like Downton Abbey
This is what happens when you forget to check
and see how many steps you have before going to bed.
