Lesson
"Lovest Thou Me?"
Elder Steven C. Barlow
I wore my brown dress with the white polka dots to church today. I called myself June Cleaver and James was Ward with his tan suit, brown tie and brown shoes.
Today was the Christmas program in sacrament meeting. It was scripture reading and singing, no soloists. James and I were disappointed as we wanted Jennifer Golly to sing. If we had stayed in Chandler, Stacy sang and Brian spoke in their sacrament meeting.
The Spirit was still in our meeting and I loved Bishop Crane's message at the end of the meeting:
"I invite you to pray for the spirit of joy, peace, and grace for yourself and others."
Ether 12:41 - And now, I would commend you to seek this Jesus of whom the prophets and apostles have written, that the grace of God the Father, and also the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost, which beareth record of them, may be and abide in your forever. Amen.
My favorite musical part of the program was Chimi Tesarek and Alexandria Dobson playing a duet of "Carol of the Bells" on their violins.
I spoke with Kerri Halcomb briefly about her mother this morning. I told her that I was concerned about how her roommate was treating her and that her roommate didn't like the TV. Catherine loves to watch TV.
The Tignor's gave us a tin of goodies, brownies and raspberry treats. Yum. We also got a card from Mikki Gilbert.
Today is winter solstice, the shortest day of the year.
For lunch today James made venison steak and gravy. He is testing it out to make sure it will be good for our family breakfast on Christmas morning. It was delicious!
Stacy called and told me the story of why they won't be getting the new car that Paul already ordered and bought insurance for. She is so very upset with Paul. Chad & Nicole are giving them Zane's car as he is on a mission and will get a new car when he returns. Stacy and I both cried. She was so happy about getting a reliable new car.
I made Nutella bars this afternoon for the Gilbert's. I doubled the recipe and will take some to our family party on Tuesday. I forgot how labor intensive they are. It took me awhile to smush the dough onto the cookie sheet, spread the Nutella, and then smush more dough on top. James helped with the smushing.
After the bars bake, they need to cool. We were going to deliver them today, but due to a bit of a late start and the amount of smushing we had to do, it was going to be too late to deliver. I arranged to meet the Gilbert's in town sometime tomorrow morning. We have an appointment to get the oil changed in our car and Mikki said they would be in town until 12 or 1.
James and I watched a Christmas movie together this evening. It was a GAF movie starring Candace Cameron Bure and Cameron Matthison, "Another Sweet Christmas." It was good.
For some reason I was sad today and had a couple of crying spells. Hopefully I can get my act together before we go to the valley on Tuesday.
"Christ's Resurrection frees us from death, from times frailties and physicality's imperfections."

1 Timothy 5:8
Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
