'God's Favorite'
Elder Karl D. Hirst
"Our Savior's love is the 'highest, noblest, strongest kind of love," and He provides until we are 'filled,' Divine love never runs dry, and we are each a cherished favorite. God's love is where, as circles on a Venn diagram, we all overlap. Whichever parts of us seem different, His love is where we find togetherness."
It was snowing this morning when I looked out the window. Snow which was not sticking to the ground.
Today was our fast & testimony meeting. Are numbers were few. The Wilhelm's are all gone to Show Low to Trenda's baby's blessing. The Allen's are gone too. There are very few Aaronic priesthood holders here to pass the sacrament. Willy Grombach and John Finnell help pass along with Logan Robles, Easton Crane and Brandon Crane. Easton and Brandon are not related. Here are the people who bore their testimonies:
Bishop Hunsaker - In remembrance of Him. It is about Him. It is our intimate time with Him. This is the time to be sober and to prepare for His 2nd Coming. Do our best to live what He has for us right now.
Lorraine Vaught - I am thankful for the priesthood. The Primary program last week was wonderful. I had a prompting...haven't seen my son in 10 years. He came to visit last week, traveling 11 hours to get here. I apologize and we spend 12 hours visiting before he and his wife go back home. The Lord had his hand in this.
Harris girl
Jimmy Applegate - Moroni 10:3-5. What is my testimony? "Christ lives." We will all stand before the pleasing judgment bar of Christ.
Greg Anderson
Lord, please carry me through this has been my prayer many times. We need the Holy Ghost to get through these difficult times. The Lord has given me so much mercy and I am very grateful.
Owen Peeler - The gospel of Jesus Christ is a joyous thing. The testimony you live is the testimony you bear. I am a son of God. Am I keeping my second estate?
Sister Barrera (sister missionary) - This is my final testimony here in Vernon. I have felt the Holy Ghost and grown spiritually while I have been here in Vernon.
Mike Brady - Trip to North Carolina during the hurricane. Our airplane could see the hurricane approaching. Grateful for so many blessings. There was a great outpouring of love as service was given to those in need. I am grateful for the fulness of the gospel in my life.
James and I attended Jimmy Applegate's Sunday School class where we discussed Mormon 1-6. I did not take notes. Catherine Halcomb went home before Sunday School because the batteries in her hearing aid were not working. Wendy DeWitt sat by me and asked me how I was feeling. I told her I was tired because we had just had a wedding at our house.
We came home and rested. When we broke out fast we had soup for dinner. We are getting more snow.
I worked on my blog this evening. I had to delete a ton of photos in order to import from my phone to my computer. When we went to bed there was very little snow on the ground.
Happy Sabbath!
