Brothers and sisters, at this Easter time we focus on the glorious Resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We remember His loving invitation to "come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
"Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
"For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
The Savior's invitation to come unto Him is an invitation to all not only to come unto Him but also to belong to His Church.
P3
He instituted the sacrament as a reminder of His great atoning sacrifice. He was arrested and condemned on spurious charges, convicted to satisfy a mob, and sentenced to die on Calvary's cross. He gave His life to atone for the sins of all mankind. His was a great vicarious gift in behalf of all who would ever live upon the earth.
The smoke and fumes from the prescribed burn are overwhelming this morning. When I got up and walked down the hallway to the kitchen it smelled like we had a campfire in our house.
James went to town to have blood tests done and a sonogram to check his kidneys. We are anxious to get these results to know how serious his problem is.
For the first time in a long time I had 6,000 steps by noon today. I am determined to get "back on track" as far as my walking is concerned.
I ran off three new recipes to try this week. I also worked on my budget and updating my checkbook. I also listened to Book of Mormon Central, Unshaken Saints, and Follow Him. It was a good day for gospel study. I also cleaned out the refrigerator in preparation for buying groceries tomorrow.
I had leftover chili and cornbread for lunch since James did not bring back tacos from town. James is pretty miserable because of the smoke. He tried to work outside but it was difficult.
Stacy called this afternoon to tell me about Joshua. She and Paul both stayed home from church yesterday and watched on YouTube. It was there fast and testimony meeting and they were surprised when Joshua got up to bear his testimony. He said he was there by himself and he hoped his parents were watching at home. She said he seemed so at ease sharing his testimony. He said his family and the gospel were the two most important things in his life. What else is there? He talked about loving his family in spite of their shortcomings. Stacy said it was a heartfelt testimony and he did not seem a bit nervous.
This evening we watched the new Crossword Puzzle Mystery starring Lacey Chabert and Brennan Elliott.
