D&C 35:27

Fear not, little flock, the kingdom is yours until I come. Behold, I come quickly. Even so. Amen.

Book of Mormon

Alma 36:25-37:10

25 Yea, and now behold, O my son, the Lord doth give me exceedingly great joy in the fruit of my labors;

26 For because of the word which he has imparted unto me, behold, many have been born of God, and have tasted as I have tasted, and have seen eye to eye as I have seen; therefore they do know of these things of which I have spoken, as I do know; and the knowledge which I have is of God.

"For God So Loved Us"

Elder Michael T. Ringwood

Of the Seventy

Many years later, Judah and his brothers needed to take their youngest brother, Benjamin, to Egypt. Initially their father resisted. But Judah made a promise to Jacob - he would bring Benjamin home.

In Egypt, Judah's promise was put to the test. Young Benjamin was wrongly accused of a crime. Judah, true to his promise, offered to be jailed in Benjamin's place. "For," he said, "how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me?"
Judah was determined to keep his promise and return Benjamin safely. Do you ever feel about others the way Judah felt toward Benjamin?

James and Rowan left to work at Thompson's early this morning. Back at home Kim and I started our cake around 11 a.m. We had finished the batter and put it in the oven and were working on the curd when we realized that the curd needed to be in the refrigerator for 4 hours. We wish we had made the curd yesterday or at least made it first today. Oh well, I guess we are in no hurry. 

Brian made chicken fettucini alfredo this afternoon. Brian and Kim eat one big meal a day, around 2 p.m. Brian makes homemade alfredo sauce and it is delicious! I ate with them. James wasn't here so he missed out.

Kim and I finished our cake in the late afternoon, just before I started dinner. 

When the cake was finished we had some orange curd left over. It was soo good, I used it as additional frosting on my piece. Delicious!

James took Ruthie Wilhelm her birthday gift this evening when he was told she would be home. No one was home so he left it on the porch. Hopefully Ruthie will get it. Today is her 12th birthday.

Happy Birthday Ruthie!

James had told me he would get the oil changed in my car today but it turns out he was too busy working at Thompson's. I was a little disappointed. Now he will have to do it tomorrow after we go to the temple.  

I asked Rowan earlier if he would like spaghetti for dinner and he said yes, so I made him some. He filled his entire plate. I did not take a picture of him eating his spaghetti but I have one of Ruby eating spaghetti here a few years ago.

One of my favorites!

I was tired by the time this day came to an end. James and I walked and listened to our book, but I was lucky to get my 10,000 steps.
