President Packer says before we study the Book of Mormon
we need to study the Plan of Salvation. Since we are studying the Book of Mormon this year in our FHE's with our children and grandchildren this will be on the front of the study journals I give to each family.
Since today is fast Sunday I wanted to include a couple of quotes regarding fasting:
"Fasting, coupled with mighty prayer, is powerful. It can fill our minds with the revelations of the Spirit. It can strengthen us against times of temptation."
-Joseph B. Wirthlin
"One reason fasting is such a source of spiritual strength is tat we take advantage of all the continual reminders our bodies give us, and use them as reminders to pray. Without prayer, fasting is simply missing a couple of meals."
-Beppie Harrison
I woke up this morning thinking about the miracles of Jesus and wondering how James Hayden is doing in school.
I love this quote I found on Facebook by Audrey Hepburn:
"As you grow older you will discover you have two hands. One for helping yourself and one for helping others."
James bore his testimony in sacrament meeting today and so did Laura. Laura reminded me of an angel.
I really enjoyed Brother Dowdle's Sunday School lesson on being "Born Again." He showed two Bible videos, one of the Savior teaching Nicodemus and one of him teaching The Woman at the Well. The script was taken directly from John 3-4.
Debbie Leib gave the lesson in Relief Society on the Plan of Salvation. It was a good lesson. I visited with Shellie Seymore and Laurie Jensen.
James and I fasted for Dallin until about 5pm. For dinner we had my leftovers from Olive Garden and some avocado and cottage cheese. Sheri brought over some oatmeal chocolate chip cookies which were delicious. Later Evan brought me a Dr. Pepper 10.
James and I did not watch the Superbowl but I was secretly hoping the Seahawks would win. The final score was 28-24 with the Patriot's winning.
Joshua and Evan had fun with the building blocks today.
