'Peace Be Still'
Lisa L. Harkness
First Counselor in the Primary General Presidency
From His position in the boat, Jesus arose and rebuked the wind and said unto the raging sea, "Peace be still. And the wind did cease, and there was a great calm." Ever the Master Teacher, Jesus then taught His disciples through two simple yet loving questions. He asked:
"Why are ye so fearful?"
"Where is your faith?"
'Seek Christ in Every Thought'
Elder Ulisses Soares
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
The Savior invites us to seek Him in every thought and to follow Him with all our heart. This gives us the promise that we can walk in His light and that His guidance prevents the influence of darkness in our life.
Seeking Christ in every thought and following Him with all our heart requires that we align our mind and desires with His. The scriptures refer to this alignment as "standing fast in the Lord." This course of action implies that we continually conduct our lives in harmony with the gospel of Christ and focus daily on everything that is good. Only then may we achieve "the peace of God, which passeth all understanding: and which will "keep our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
P9 S1
With reverence and gratitude, we as His Apostles invite all to know - as we do - that the heavens are open.

I got a phone call from Molly today from Jared's phone. She wanted to know if she could watch "Heartland" on our TV, seasons 12 and 13. I looked on Netflix and the satellite and could not find those particular seasons. I finally texted Cathi and she said those seasons were on Amazon Prime Video. I checked and sure enough they are. Hopefully we will have a good internet connection so Molly can watch her show.
President Nelson at 11:00 today, presented a message of Hope for the world. It was wonderful. Here are three challenges he gave to us in this message:
I introduced James to the singing of Matt and Savannah Shaw today. He had never heard them. They have a Christmas album that I want to listen to!
I got this quote from one of the Christmas movies I watch every year, "Let It Snow" starring Candace Cameron Bure and Jesse Hutch:
"Christmas reminds us about what's important in life. Christmas is not just about toys, and sales, it's about a rebirth in all of us and a gift of love that binds us all together."
