Jesus Christ Atonement through
Hebrews 9:28
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Book of Mormon
Ether 9:23-35
Why must we first be humble before the Lord hears our cries?
Doctrine Covenants Favorite Scriptures
DC 29:1-2
1 Listen to the voice of Jesus Christ, your Redeemer, the Great I Am, whose arm of mercy hath atoned for your sins;
2 Who will gather his people even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, even as many as will hearken to my voice and humble themselves before me, and call upon me in mighty prayer.

This morning's sunrise
I had lunch with my friend Pam at the hospital today. She works at the hospital and today was the holiday feast. The food is free and everyone who works at the hospital can bring a guest. We were at the beginning of the line and I am glad we were. When we left it looked like all of Show Low was lined up for freed food.
There were three main dishes, stuffed chicken, prime rib, and butternut ravioli. I had the ravioli and Pam had the prime rib. The food was delicious and the company was great.
After lunch Pam walked out to the car with me and I gave her her Christmas gift. A pair of mittens with a quote from President Monson about being "His hands," and a blanket.
As I was thinking about some of my favorite things about Christmas here is what I came up with. My favorite song is "O Holy Night." Favorite holiday movie, "Elf." One of my favorite Christmas memories is having the Tinsel Tour at our house and James nailing up the last piece of crown molding just at our first guest arrived.
Another favorite memory is Darrel reading "The Little Fir Tree" at one of our adult parties and tears coming to his eyes. He really does have a tender heart.
Christmas movies for today: "Wrapped Up in Christmas," starring Kim Fields, and Tatiyana Ali.

This is called the Golden Rule, and if everyone followed it, the world would be a better place.
