All of the humanitarian efforts of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints seek to follow the example of a righteous people described in the Book of Mormon:
"And thus, in their prosperous circumstances, they did not send away any who were naked, or that were hungry, or that were athirst, or that were sick, ... and they ... were liberal to all, both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, whether out of the church or in the church."
100 Favorite Verses - "His Ways Our Higher Than Ours"
Isaiah 55:8-9
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are you ways my ways, saith the LORD.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than you ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
James left for the valley around 5:15 this morning after we had family prayer together. He went the Payson way and traveled in a snowstorm until he got to Payson. As he left Payson and before he got to the valley, he had a blowout. He rode with the donut on the rest of the day and all the way home. He came home through Globe and stopped at the Peeler's to do a little job for them. He also brought me a mixed green burro from Burger House. Yummy!
I had a good day starting at 4:30 a.m. I stayed on my schedule all day and accomplished most all of my goals. It felt good to finally be here.
James came home in a snow storm. We walked and listened to our book and then we both did some indexing. This morning I did a little family history. My new search is for Thomas Isaiah Parker and his wife Catherine. This is from Nannie's line. I do know they had a daughter named Artaleesa and I have most of her information.
Darrel and Trina are coming up next weekend. I told them I would watch Lola if they wanted to go snowboarding. Trina seemed excited.
I ordered some puzzles today and sent one to Sheri that shows all of the planets in our solar system. She seemed excited to get it. I used the rewards money I got from my credit card.
I was finished eating for the day by 6 p.m. This means I can't eat again until 7 a.m. if I am going to fast for 13 hours.
I listened to a talk by Elder Uchtdorf this morning as part of my "Come Follow Me" lesson. The name of the talk is "The Gift of Grace." There is a quote in this talk that I love.
"Salvation cannot be bought with the currency of obedience.
It was purchased with the blood of Jesus Christ."
Another thing I learned this morning was something regarding the story of the woman with the alabastar box washing Jesus's feet with her tears and drying them with her hair. I always thought it was strange that this woman off the street would just come into Simon's house without being invited. Jesus was at a feast and this is what the New Testament Student Manual said:
"The woman was allowed to enter Simon's because of social customs that allowed people in need to visit banquets and receive leftover food."
This evening I read two chapters from Michael Vaal's book, "Find A Way Home. The two chapters I read were chapter 6 Roadside Strafing and chapter 7 Starvation.
The Vaal boys mother was incredible and had such courage and faith. It is really quite an amazing story and I am so impressed with Maria Vaal.
Asha gets her mission call.
