Jesus Christ, Ascension of
Ephesians 4:10
He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.
Book of Mormon
3 Nephi 22:1-17
When have you felt Heavenly Father reach out and touch your heart to draw you to Him? "...with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee.." (v.8) "The world is not a safe place. It is not a place where children will feel peace, hope, and direction unless they are taught to love and follow the Savior. Please help them know that these great blessings can be theirs, and show them what they need to do to receive these blessings" (Patricia P. Pineager, Ensign, Nov 1999, 68).
"Prayer is essential to developing faith." (Carol F. McConkie, Ensign, Nov 2016, 25).

DC 3:19-20
19 And for this very purpose are these plates preserved, which contain these records - that the promises of the Lord might be fulfilled, which he made to his people;
20 And that the Lamanites might come to the knowledge of their fathers, and that they might know the promises of the Lord, and that they may believe the gospel and rely upon the merits of Jesus Christ, and be glorified through faith in his name, and that through their repentance they might be saved. Amen.
General Conference
The Living Bread Which Came Down From Heaven
Elder D. Todd Christofferson
"The doctrine of Christ expresses what we must do to receive atoning grace. It is to believe and have faith in Christ, to repent and be baptized, and to receive the Holy Ghost, 'and then cometh a remission of your sins by fire and by the Holy Ghost."
This is the gate, our access to the Savior's atoning grace and to the strait and narrow path leading to His kingdom.
It was overcast all day long but there was no moisture. I want snow!
James borrowed the Hunsaker's compactor today for the new patio. Once he got everything compacted, he realized that he is going to need some more sand.
I cleaned the living room and family room floor and the family room couch today. I watched some Christmas movies while I was cleaning and blogging. I watched, "The Magic Stocking," "Charming Christmas," "A Crown for Christmas," and James and I watched a new one together, "Miss Christmas."
I also worked on family history, Primary, and planned menus for next week. I got the recipes off Facebook.
Heartland: "Broken Arrow," and "Eye of the Wolf."
Sad news. Neither Darrel and Trina, or Jared and Kacey are coming for Thanksgiving. Kim and Brian are still coming the day after Thanksgiving so at least we won't be alone.
