'Bonded to Jesus Christ: Becoming the Salt of the Earth'
Elder Jose A. Teixeira
"Like salt can lose its essence, we can also lose our spiritual vitality if our faith in Jesus Christ becomes casual. We may look the same on the outside, but without a strong inner faith, we lose our ability to make a difference in the world and bring out the best in those around us."
I got up and took a shower and then feed the horses and the cats. James is not feeling well enough to go to church and I am staying home with him. I don't want to leave him along just yet.
We had breakfast, family prayer, and scripture study. I did some blogging. Around 11:15, after the block Chuck Crane knocked on our door. James had told me earlier he was coming to administer the sacrament. Owen Peeler was right behind him. Two men we love and appreciate so much, and two men who have both given James life-saving blessings.
After Owen and Chuck left we had lunch. James wanted an egg salad sandwich so I hard boiled some eggs. We had egg salad sandwiches along with tomato soup for our lunch. Afterwards we had rest time.
James's headache is a little better today.
Later this afternoon we had a visit from Bishop Hunsaker and his wife Alicia. Alicia brought us some sweet potato cornbread which was delicious!
This evening we watched the First Presidency Christmas Devotional. Sister Tamara Runia's talk was my favorite, although all of the talks and music were wonderful.
Stacy teaches Primary in her ward. She said she talked about dad during her lesson today. She said he has an independent personality and likes to do things his way, which sometimes gets him in trouble. But when it comes to obedience to the Lord's commandments he is exact and because of that he has been blessed. I think the Lord has spared his life again so he can be here for his family, especially his grandsons.
I did two blog posts today. Yay!
James slept on the recliner and so did I.
from Charlie!
