4 Nephi 1:1-22
What is the key to avoiding contention? President Russell M. Nelson described the source of the great peace that was described in 4 Nephi: "Personal peace is reached when one, in humble submissiveness, truly loves God. Heed carefully this scripture: 'There was no contention in the land, because of the love of God which did dwell in the hearts of the people' (4 Nephi 1:15). Love of God should be our aim. It is the first commandment - the foundation of faith. As we develop love of God and Christ, love of family and neighbor will naturally follow. Then will we eagerly emulate Jesus. He healed. He comforted. He taught, 'Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God' (Matthew 5:9; 3 Nephi 12:9). Shun contention. Seek godliness. Be enlightened by eternal truth. Be like-minded with the Lord in love and united with Him in faith. Then shall 'the peace of God, which passet all understanding' (Philliapians 4:7), be yours, to bless you and your posterity through generations yet to come."
GC: "There is Power in the Book" by Elder LeGrand R. Curtis, Jr.
And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a
remission of their sins.
- 2 Nephi 25:26
I made pumpkin bread this morning using a different recipe than I did last time. It turned out great!
I made three loaves, one for Hailey, and Kaeli,
and one for us.
A message from President Nelson's talk,
one of my favorites.
Kaeli and I had a nice long visit with Hailey today. While Kaeli was visiting with Hailey and sharing the message with her, I was playing with Huntleigh.
She kept calling me Nana.
We had some visitors at our place today. These are my favorite!
So cute!
Kim, Brian and Joe decorated their tree together.
Some of my favorites!
Aunt Gene is feeling and looking much better. I love this picture of Rita and her two girls and Aunt Gene.

I tried a new pork chop recipe tonight. Let me introduce to you
lemon thyme pork chops:
That dipping gravy was addictive.
We have a member of our ward, Sister Hunter who is in the hospital. She has pneumonia because of the presribed burns in the Vernon area. We are praying for her and hope she will get well soon!
We watched "The Twelfth Day of Christmas."
