Jesus Christ Is Relief
President Camille N. Johnson
Relief Society General President
Our beloved prophet, President Russell M. Nelson, invited us to overcome the world and find rest. He defined "true rest" as "relief and peace." President Nelson said, "Because the Savior, through His infinite Atonement, redeemed each of us from weakness, mistakes, and sin, and because He experienced every pain, worry, and burden you have ever had, then as you truly repent and seek His help, you can rise above this present precarious world." That is the relief Jesus Christ offers us!
This is what happens when I read the news first:
A man in Yavapai county, Arizona was killed by a bear as he was sitting on his property drinking a cup of coffee.
A town in the panhandle of Texas was destroyed by a tornado.
We live in Arizona and Jared & Kacey live in Texas. Thank goodness we are all safe but I feel so sad for the man's family who was killed by the bear and those poor people in Texas.
No more news, at least not the first thing in the morning.
James got the sprinklers working on the back lawn but one of them is leaking and the pump doesn't go off by himself. There are always so many problems to get things to work the way they are supposed to. Also, the septic tank is in at Barbara's, now it just needs to be connected to the house.
James had to make a trip to town and he wanted me to go with him but I with just about ready to take a nap and I was comfy and cozy on my recliner in the bedroom.
After my nap I listened to Sister Johnson's conference talk, "Jesus Christ is Relief." I love this talk and I love the title of the talk. So many talks in conference were the Savior which is how is should be.
I worked on cleaning the wood floor in the great area. I tried stripping off the polish but it is a tedious job and I didn't get it all. I think on Monday I will put new polish on which makes the floor look beautiful.
I texted Rita recently to ask how her mother is doing. This is the response I got:
She's doing pretty good. She's lost alot of strength and can't even stand up anymore but her spirits are good. She ask me yesterday if I would go get KFC for her and the four other people at the home, so I did, and they partied for about two hours. Mom is still the bell of the ball and loving life. Thanks for checking on her. Hope all is well with you. Love you mucho!!
Aunt Gene has always had a positive, upbeat attitude and is so fun to be around. I wish I could be more like her. She is just a few months younger than James's mom.
I am a little concerned about James. He says that his knee keeps giving out on him. This happened while he was standing on the septic tank at Barbara's and he almost fell down into the hole. When he walks he hurries around and I am afraid he is going to get hurt.
I turned the air conditioning on for the first time today just for about an hour.
James and I watched the latest Hallmark movie together this evening. It's about a Jewish couple preparing to get married and the troubles they run in to. Jake Epstein plays the guy and I love him. He is such a good actor. It was called, "The Wedding Contract." It was fun to learn about Jewish culture and weddings.
