Name that temple.
Mormon 3:1-22
Mormon loved his people in spite of their actions. What should our attitude be towards those we know who don't keep the commandments?
* When he was in the Presiding Bishopric, Bishop Glenn L. Pace admonished us to strive to emulate the love Mormon exhibited: "This prophet had Christlike love for a fallen people. Can we be content with loving less? We must press forward with the pure love of Christ to spread the good news of the gospel. As we do so and fight the war of good against evil, light against darkness, and truth against falsehood, we must not neglect our responsibility of dressing the wounds of those who have fallen in battle." (Ensign, Nov. 1990, 8-9).
GC: "Joy and Spiritual Survival" by President Russell M. Nelson
'Clearly, Lehi knew opposition, anxiety, heartache, pain, disappointment, and sorrow. Yet he declared boldly and without reservation a principle as revealed by the Lord: "Men are,
that they might have joy." Imagine! Of all the words he
could have used to describe the nature and purpose of our lives here in mortality, he chose the word joy!'
I absolutely love President Nelson's talk about joy in the Savior. No matter what our circumstances we can have joy if our focus is on the Savior.
It was a rainy day so we had a fire all day long. I also had the light on the Christmas tree on. I couldn't resist laying on the couch for awhile.
James was stuck in the house most of the day because of the rain. He is planning a trip to the valley tomorrow and went to hook the trailer up to the truck. Something was wrong with the connection so he needed to make a trip to town. I was going to make rolls today for Thanksgiving but instead I went to town. We read from "Justice of Affliction." One of the Rogers' sons is in Jerusalem, one is in Siberia, one daughter is in jail, and the other is in danger of losing her life and has to go into hiding. Right now the book is quite depressing.
Today's sky
We stopped at Sonic while we were in town. I got a drink and an American dog and James got a New York dog. Dinner is done.
Kim took family pictures for Sheri today. Here are the ones of her boys.
So handsome!
Ben is awesome!
Max is so grown up!
Evan is amazing!
Evan is smiling!
In memory of the Beatles!
For FHE tonight we sat by the fire and the tree and listened to Elder Meurs talk on the sacrament. We also watched "A Very Merry Mixup" starring Alicia Witt.
I have a couple of more family pictures to post:
Emmy a few years ago before the move to Texas.
Jared, and James leading a blind lady.
Anna drew this while driving in the car.
Excited to watch this tomorrow!
