Aaron being saved by his brother's blood has spurred many thoughts about the atoning blood of Jesus Christ and the effect of His Atonement on us. I would like to focus today on the permanent, life-giving change that occurs as we allow the Lord to work miracles in us.
I woke up at 3:40 this morning and I was ready to get up, so I did. I had my gospel study and prayers and then began blogging and had my first breakfast, 1/8th of a piece of pumpkin pie with Coolwhip. Later James reminded me that I had said I would make ham & egg croissants this morning for breakfast. I immediately went into the kitchen and made two ham, cheese and egg croissants. Again, as the last time I made them, James says they are the most delicious egg & ham croissants he has ever had.
After eating breakfast James went over to build a fire in the fireplace. I had asked him to do this before my ministering sisters got here at 11. Donna Peeler and Stefani Hunsaker are my ministering sisters and they arrived right on time. Stefani handed me a small bag of peanuts with candy corn. She says this was the special treat her mother would make for her dad when he went hunting. I thanked her and said it was a good treat for me because I am pre-diabetic.
Stefani, Donna and I had a nice visit. Stefani, her husband Sean, and their son Tyler and his wife and daughter will be going to Midland, Texas for Thanksgiving. Stefani & Sean's daughter, Camrie lives in Midland with her husband and five children. She has twin girls who will be a year old at the end of the month.
After Donna and Stefani left I made a bag of orange chicken from the freezer for dinner. After eating, I relaxed in front of the TV until I got so tired I turned it off and took a nap. I ate too many carbs today and didn't keep track of my blood sugar. I need to do better.
James did some indexing and then came in and we listened to the end of our book while we walked. This book had a little too much violence in it for my taste but at least the hero and heroine did get married at the end. We will probably start a new book tomorrow.
I made whole wheat bread this afternoon. James ground the wheat for me, about 3 cups. He said it was the best whole wheat bread I had ever made.
I got a new book in the mail, "Your Endowment" which is supposed to be good for people new to the temple. I am going to read it and see what I think.
Here are some gospel talks, etc. that I studied today. "Revelation for the Church, Revelation for Our Lives" by Russell M. Nelson, April 2018 General Conference. This went along with the section of the "Come Follow Me" lesson that we studied.
I listened to a BYU talk that Jared & Kacey recommended by Jenet Jacob Erickson called, "Designed for Covenant Relationships." It was excellent. Here is a quote I liked:
"This is the love God is calling us all into. We are deeply relational beings, designed for love and connection with God and with one another."
