'Be Of Good Cheer'
President Dallin H. Oaks
On a personal basis, each of us struggles individually with some of the many adversities of mortality, such as poverty, racism, ill health, job losses or disappointments, wayward children, bad marriages or no marriages, and the effects of sin-our own or others.'
Yet, in the midst of all of this, we have the heavenly counsel to be of good cheer and to find joy in the principles and promises of the gospel and the fruits of our labors. That counsel has always been so, for prophets and for all of us. We know this from the experiences of our predecessors and what the Lord said to them.
Restoration Proclamation
P9 S2
We affirm that God is making known His will for His beloved sons and daughters.
James stayed home from church with me today and we listened to our wards Zoom broadcast. Bishop Hunsaker conducted. He read a letter from the Stake Presidency regarding a special fast on our next fast Sunday. Here is a copy of the letter from the stake presidency:
Sincerely, The White Mountain Stake Presidency
Brother Steve Owens from the high council was the main speaker today after the two elders assigned to our ward bore their testimonies. Brother Owens's talk was based on Elder Whiting's talk from the last General Conference, "Becoming Like Him". Here are some thoughts from that talk:
What if "even as I am" is exactly and precisely what is meant by the Savior? Then what? What level of effort would we be willing to give to invite His miraculous power into our lives so that we can change our very nature?
As we progress, we become more complete, finished, and fully developed. Such teaching is not based on any one sect's doctrines but comes directly from the Master Himself. It is through this lens that lives should be lived, communications considered, and relationships fostered. Truly, there is no other way to heal the wounds of broken relationships or of a fractured society than for each of us to more fully emulate the Prince of Peace.
The first step on the path to becoming like Jesus Christ is to have the desire to do so. To develop the desire, we must know who Jesus Christ is. We must know something of His character, and we must look for His attributes in scripture, worship services, and other holy places. As we begin to know more of Him, we will see His attributes reflected in others. This will encourage us on our own quest, for if others can attain in some measure His attributes, so can we.
James's leg and foot rubs are the best. I got some muscle relaxers today from a friend and they have helped with pain. I will still be going to the doctor's on Tuesday. The doctor's will be closed tomorrow for Martin Luther King, Jr. day.
Happy Birthday Anna!
