3 Nephi 26:1-21
Are we ready to be judged of our works? (v.4-5).
In what way does the Savior want us to become as little children?
* Young children are sweet, pure, innocent, lovable and teachable. I had an amazing experience with Ruby while she was staying with us a few weeks ago. As I watched her saying her prayers one evening, a powerful feeling came over me testifying to me of her purity and innocence. I truly felt that I was in the presence of greatness and someone who was more like the Savior than just about anyone else I new. Tears come to my eyes when I think of it. We can truly be taught by little children. How did the Nephites demonstrate their faith in Christ's words after He had departed from them? (v. 19-21). They did what Jesus taught them to do. They taught and served one another, and practiced the law of consecration. "They had all things in common among them every man dealing justly one with another." they were baptized in the name of Jesus and were called the Church of Christ.

"A stumbling block is 'an impediment to belief or understanding' or' an obstacle to progress.' To stumble spiritually is 'to fall into sin or waywardness.' A stumbling block can be anything that distracts us from achieving righteous goals."
I had a small miracle occur today. James was going to go to the valley this morning. I did not want him to go because he has four tires that need to be replaced. When he went out to get in the truck, it would not start, so he decided not to go. Instead he stayed here and went in to town to get new tires. I am so grateful!
He also brought back two quarts of hot and sour soup. One for him, and one for me.
This is my new drinking container. Jared is always talking about
how wonderful his Yeti is because it keeps ice in his drink for several hours. We bought this at the Walmart in Chandler at a fraction of the cost of a Yeti and it works very well. It keeps my drinks cold for as long as they last. It has an icon on it that looks like a buffalo, so I call this my Bufi.
When I was at Cathi's a couple of weeks ago she received this book for a gift.
I just had to have this book. Temple worship is so important and I want to leave as part of my legacy to my family, my love for the temple.
Paul posted this picture of Shipley today. He said this is her staring at him while he eats pizza for dinner. James told Joshua that Shipley is his second most favorite dog ever. His first was a dog named Prince who drowned in Ramah Lake when James was a boy.
This dog is so lovable!
Today I watched a Mrs. Miracle Christmas movie and this evening James and I watched "A Royal Christmas" starring Lacy Chabert and Jane Seymore. James also put up my "family tree."
That's him over sticking pieces on the wall.
It is like putting together a puzzle and he needed
to look at the picture.
The tree is up. Now I just need to put family
pictures on it.
