Jesus Christ, Seed of

Mosiah 5:7

And now, because of the covenant which ye have made ye shall be called the children of Christ, his sons, and his daughters; for behold, this day he hath spiritually begotten you; for ye say that your hearts are changed through faith on his name; therefore, ye are born of him and have become his sons and his daughters.

Book of Mormon

Alma 60:14-28

26 And this because of their exceeding faith, and their patience in their tribulations - 

"Come Follow Me"

Proverbs 15:1-2, 4, 18, 28; 16:24-32 "A soft answer turneth away wrath." Ecclesiastes 1-3.

I love this quote!

"We Are The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints"

Reyna I. Aburto

My dear sisters and brothers, let us follow Jesus Christ's invitation to bring ourselves and our afflictions to Him. When we come to Him and bring those we love to Him, He sees our faith. He will make them whole, and He will make us whole.

James sleeps in this morning. He needs the extra rest. I spend over an hour posting pictures for Charlie's birthday blog. 

Brother Allen from the bishopric called James today and told him we need to switch talks. I am to give the one on President Nelson's opening address and he needs to give "Steady in the Storms" by President Eyring. Okay, I am fine with that although I did already start preparing the one on steady in the storms. Confusing!

Kacey and Charlie took Tanner to Arkansas today, to Kacey's sisters, April's house. April and her husband Moe live out in the country and Moe owns his own welding business. They have fixed a trailer up for Tanner and want him to come and stay with them. What a kind and generous offer! Charlie had a great time while she was there!

A farm girl at heart. Now she wants chickens!

 James is working at the dining room table and I am in the bedroom. That's the way we do it. We get together and go to town around 10:30. The town of Vernon is covered in yellow daisies or sunflowers and lavender lantana everywhere you look. It is so unbelievably beautiful! 

I put in a Sonic order on my app so we can get 1/2 price drinks, although James ordered a drink and I didn't, which is a switch. We both order chicken slingers. We love that little sandwich. I'm so glad we ordered ahead because the line was clear out to the street. We parked in a stall and our food was delivered immediately and we enjoyed our sandwiches as we drove across town to Home Depot.

I picked out a Behr paint chip from the one coat section. It is called platinum, and is kind of a smoky white color. I order the paint and leave James to pick it up while I walk over to Walmart. James is going to Lowe's next. 

The main reason I am at Walmart is to get some cash for Darrel's birthday. I brought his card with me to mail. When I finished shopping I went outside to mail the card and the mail person was just picking up the mail so I gave it to her.

James picks me up and home we go. After taking a short rest break I went outside to wash the windows by the fireplace and the patio. There is grease on one of the windows by the grill and it bothers me every time I open the blinds. I found a recipe for cleaning outside windows on Pinterest. Eight cups of hot water, two cups of white vinager, and 1/8 cup of Dawn soap. I put that in a bucket, use a long handled mop to apply, hose it down, and then squeegie it dry and the windows look great. It was nice being outside and I really enjoyed my work.

James goes over to the Thompson's to finish up some work but the Cat keeps dying on him. Because he didn't finish he has to go back tomorrow. 

When I got inside I started painting one of the walls in our bedroom. The lighting isn't very good this time of day and it's hard to tell how it's going to look, but it is going to definitely lighten up the room. 

I finally finished blogging August 28th!
