"Hope in Christ"
President M. Russell Ballard
Acting President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
The gospel of Jesus Christ has the power to unite us.
Let us call upon our members who are single to serve, lift, and teach. Disregard old notions and ideas that have sometimes unintentionally contributed to their feelings of loneliness and that they do not belong or cannot serve.
The Living Christ
#9
We declare in words of solemnity that His priesthood and His Church have been restored upon the earth - "built upon the foundation of . . . apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone" (Ephesians 220).

The Snyder's, Cody and LeeAnn were the speakers in sacrament meeting today. LeeAnn spoke on a talk given by Rosemary Wixom in 2016, "The Divine Nature Within You." Every breath we take, we strive to follow Him. How can I develop the divine nature within me? God knows our potential. The divine nature within us ignites our desire to reach out to others and prompts us to act and serve.
Colter, LeeAnn's little brother, was the youth speaker. He talked about things that make us happy. Good music, the Outdoors, Sleep, Prayer, Family and Friends, Healthy eating, and Scripture Study.
Cody was the last speaker. He spoke on a talk given by President Monson, "Be an Example and a Light." Let your light so shine...
Be thou an example of the believers. Don't take the name of the Lord in vain. Stay out of the gutter with your language. Charity is the pure love of Christ. Strive to have the Spirit with you through kindness, gratitude, and goodwill. John 15:12-13. Faith and doubt cannot exist at the same time. Search diligently, pray always, be believing, and all things shall work together for your good. Be Pure - In order to have the Holy Ghost we must be pure in thought and deed. Psalm 27 - The Lord is my light... Jesus Christ is our greatest example of love and hope. He is our light and example. He lived a perfect life, developing all of the divine attributes. Let us develop the light within us to shine for others.
I took Ginger a set of paperback scriptures to have and she was so grateful. She sent me this text: I just wanted to say Thank you again soo much for bringing me the set of books today to church!! I have been looing and reading from them all afternoon and I can tell they will really help me out in my studies as I draw closer and learn about our Savior. I appreciate you soo much Karen! I absolutely love them! Thank you for your sweet kindness of thinking about me! Love you, Ginger.
Ginger is one of the sweetest, kindest people I have ever met.
When I got home from church today I was looking at Facebook and saw that Kendall Thomas passed away. He was a member of our ward when James was the bishop. My heart goes out to his wife Kristy and his children. I believe he had Covid or pneumonia as a result of Covid.
James has more aches and pains because of working this week. He laid down to take a nap as soon as we got home.
We both did some indexing and I did some blogging. We did not have our "Come Follow Me" group meeting because Barbara was afraid of Covid and it was scheduled to be at her house.
James made me some delicious freshly squeezed orange juice today. We also ate leftover rolls, cake, salad, and hotdogs.
Tamara, Linda D., Kerri, and I are concerned about Barbara S. living alone. Tamara is going to see if hospice can help out.
Who is bishop going to call as our RS teacher. We have asked for a certain sister and he said she didn't return his calls but now he is saying he is considering her for another position. He needs to pray about it first. Tamara and I decided on a second choice, just in case.
By the way, Rosie L. did a great job teaching Relief Society today. She is a retired school teacher and knows how to get the sisters involved.
I love the Sabbath day. I love partaking of the sacrament, seeing my friends, and having gospel discussions. I love having James home all day and how relaxed he is on the Sabbath.
