"Honoring His Name"
Lisa L. Harkness
"The name we were given at birth reflects our individual identity and gives us belonging within our earthly families. However, when we were 'born again' at baptism, our understanding of who we are was enlarged. 'Because of the covenant which ye have made ye shall be called the children of Christ, ... for behold, ... he hath spiritually begotten you; for ye say that your hearts are changed through faith on his name; therefore, ye are born of him.'"
"Beloved Daughters"
Bonnie H. Cordon
"However your young women classes are organized, you young women are vital in building unity. Be a light to those around you. Be the source of love and care you are hoping to receive from others. With a prayer in your heart, continue to reach out and be that force for good. As you do so, your life will be filled with kindness. You will have a better feeling toward others and will begin to see their goodness in return."
I keep getting a network error message when I try to download the Redheaded Hostess materials for this week. I finally texted them and they said it was an internet connection on my end. I changed from the jetpack to the regular internet in the dining room and it worked fine. Darn little jetpack anyway.
Kacey texted to let me know that they got the Christmas packages we sent. Wow! that was fast and much cheaper than UPS. From now on when sending packages it's USPS.
I used the leftover meat from our Christmas party and shredded it and added some salsa and made chicken tacos for lunch. They were quite delicious.
After lunch I read to James and then I read from my Aunt Dimity book. While I was resting James moved the file cabinet out of my closet in order to better reach the furnace that needs fixing. James put the file cabinet downstairs in the years supply/Christmas closet. He pulls the motor out of the furnace and takes it to Ed Miller. Ed is going to go and purchase a replacement for us.
The 10 Bicentennial First Vision calendars I ordered arrived today. Now I have to decide who I am going to give them to. For sure Ben is getting one. The shirts I ordered for James for Christmas are also here and the Book of Mormon study guide from the Redheaded Hostess and the verse a day Book of Mormon journal from Emily Belle Freeman is also here. I still have a Book of Mormon study guide coming from Emily.
I inventoried books for shipment but I didn't finish. I also made two loaves of banana nut bread, one for the Peeler's and one for the Goodman's. It was still warm when we wrapped it because we were running late for our FHE.
We had the "Come Follow Me" discussion at the Peeler's this evening. It is the Christmas lesson. After the lesson I gave each family a loaf of bread and a Christmas card and Donna and Barbara a pair of warm socks.
It is cold outside, around 38 degrees but at least there is no wind. We came home and read the letter Elder Trezise sent.
Happy Birthday Ben!
