Jesus Christ, Testimony of

JS-H 1:26

I had now got my mind satisfied so far as the sectarian world was concerned-that it was not my duty to join with any of them, but to continue as I was until further directed. I had found the testimony of James to be true-that a man who lacked wisdom might ask of God, and obtain, and not be upbraided.

Book of Mormon

Alma 4:5-20

Come Follow Me

Phrase

And whoso treasureth up my word shall not be deceived...JS-Matt 1:37

Affirmation - I am using the transformative power of treasuring the Word of God in my life. I am filled with gratitude for the divine guidance and wisdom that flow from the scriptures. As I immerse myself in the scriptures, I cultivate a deep connection with my Heavenly Father, gaining insights that uplift and provide safety to my soul.

"My Mind Caught Hold Upon This Thought"

Elder Neil L. Andersen

Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

In Alma's deep despair, he remembered being taught in his youth about "the coming of one Jesus Christ, a Son of God, to atone for the sins of the world. As my mind caught hold upon this thought, I cried within my heart: O Jesus, thou Son of God, have mercy on me." As he appealed for the divine power of the Savior, something miraculous happened: "When I thought this," he said, "I could remember my pains no more." Suddenly he felt peace and light. "Nothing was so exquisite and sweet as was my joy," he declared.

I didn't get to sleep last night until almost 1:30. I think it's because I took some Tramadol a little too close to bedtime. Because I couldn't sleep I woke up late and it put me behind all day long.

James had a low tire this morning and his compressor is in the valley. He called Pierce and asked him if he was home, thinking he would use Pierce's compressor. Pierce said, "Well, sort of. We are hiking Mt. Montoso." This was about 7:30 this morning. I guess they got an early start and are practicing for hiking in Peru at the ruins.

James was a wonderful, almost perfect husband today. He helped me finish the cupcake puzzle.

Hardest puzzle I have ever done. Too much pink and white.

He fixed lunch and watched two movies with me, one this morning and one this evening. "The Engagement Plot" and "Garage Sale Mystery" were the two movies.  He may have felt like he was wasting his time but he was making me happy and I don't think he thinks that is a waste of time.

He ran an errand in town and brought me dinner, two tacos from Taco Bell. He prayed with me and studied the scriptures with me which is something we normally do but on this day because of his attention to me, our prayers and study meant more to me.

It was a great day and the weather was gorgeous!
