Jesus Christ, Rock
Jacob 7:25
Wherefore, the people of Nephi did fortify against them with their arms, and with all their might, trusting in the God and rock of their salvation; wherefore, they became as yet, conquerors of their enemies.
Book of Mormon
2 Nephi 25:27-26:11
"Come Follow Me"
Genesis 33; Gen 32:24-32 Why is "wrestling" a good way to describe seeking blessings

"Becoming More In Christ: The Parable Of The Slope"
Elder Clark G. Gilbert
Of the Seventy
Regardless of whether we start in abundant or difficult circumstances, we will realize our ultimate potential only when we make God our partner.

"A Faithful Search Rewarded"
Elder Patricio M. Giuffra
Of the Seventy
During these blessed years, we have known, as President Russell M. Nelson declared: "Everything good in life - every potential blessing of eternal significance - begins with faith. Allowing God to prevail in our lives begins with faith that He is willing to guide us. True repentance begins with faith that Jesus Christ has the power to cleanse, heal, and strengthen us."

Help the Church grow

I made the five canned cinnamon rolls in the frig this morning. James had one and I had one and the rest went in the freezer. 

My left hand is swollen and is sore to the touch. I spent most of the day on the recliner in our bedroom watching movies. I had a heating bag on my hand and kept it as still as I could. James went to the church to watch Family Discovery Day as part of Rootstech. I watched it here at home. Brother and Sisters Soares were the featured couple. It was fun to learn about them and their years growing up in the gospel. 

I missed our Stake Women's Conference this evening. I did read the scriptures and Sister Joy D. Jones talk, "For Him" from the Oct 2018 General Conference. I loved her talk. The reason we do anything in the church should be "For Him" because we love Him.

James fed me soup, toast, noodles, fruit and yogurt. He gave me Tramadol, a heating pad, my back scratcher, a power strip to plug in the heating pad and my phone. He also went upstairs and put sheets on the bed and got the upstairs ready for company. He slept with me on the recliner so he could be close to me in case I needed anything.

Although it was not one of my better days I am grateful for a husband who showed me how much he cares for me by caring for me. He made it a memorable day for that reason. 

We had snow and wind today which made it quite cold.
