Omni 1:26
"And now, my beloved brethren, I would that ye should come unto Christ, who is the Holy One of Israel, and partake of his salvation, and the power of his redemption. Yea, come unto him, and offer your whole souls as an offering unto him, and continue in fasting and praying, and endure to the end; and as the Lord liveth ye will be saved." This is one of my favorite scriptures from the Book of Mormon. Here are some thoughts on sacrifice:
"Sacrifice is an amazing principle. As we willingl give our time and talents and all that we possess, it becomes one of our truest forms of worship. It can develop within us a profound love for each other and our Savior, Jesus Christ. Through sacrifice our hearts can be changed; we live closer to the Spirit and have less of an appetite for things of the world." (Carol B. Thomas, "Sacrifice: An Eternal Investment." Ensign, May 2001, 63).
The high today was 55 degrees. James got a call on his way to San Carlos from the superintendent telling him not to come because it is too muddy to work. He came home and instead of going for my walk he convinced me to go lay day for awhile. It wasn't too hard to convince me since I have been awake since 2:30 am. Today was the day I was going to take my dolls to the cabin but there is just too much snow. Also, I found out that highway 87 to Payson was closed.
This morning at 4:47 a fire truck and a paramedics truck stopped in front of Cathi and Terry's. They think Evelyn might have a blood clot in her leg so they are taking her to the hospital. Usually Dave and Laura are up but they missed this one. Laura was upset that she heard about it from Jackie Hall instead of me. Dave and Laura are leaving for Utah and Idaho tomorrow so I went over to say goodbye to Laura this afternoon. We will probably be moved when they get back.
James cooked us yummy steaks from Costco today. They were better than the ones we had at Black Angus the other night and half as cheap.
I cleaned out my sock drawer today. One person should not have this many socks. Wow all shapes, sizes and colors. I got rid of about half of them.
