"The Savior's Touch"
Elder Walter F. Gonzalez
"Much like the leper, we can find strength and comfort in this life by accepting His will and knowing that He wants to bless us. We can find the strength to face any challenge, to overcome temptations, and to understand and endure our difficult circumstances. Surely, in one of the most crushing moments of His life, the Savior's strength to endure was deepened as He said to His Father, 'Thy will be done.'"
I read something on my blog from February 9, 2018 that I want to share again: "While reading and studying 2 Nephi 2 I came across this quote in a study guide I am using by Brother Eldin Ricks:
'In Lehi's inspired and profound discourse that comprises chapter 2 we find the theological and philosophical core of the Book of Mormon. Within the limits of this single treatise the prophet explains (a) the hopelessness of man's plight without a Redeemer, v.5 (b) man's dependence upon Christ for his salvation, vs.6-9, (c) the legal demands of divine justice, v.10 (d) the reason for God's allowing evil in the world, vs. 10-13 (e) the story of the fall of Adam and its purpose in opening the doorway to man's mortality in the midst of good and evil, vs. 14-25, (f) man's freedom to attain Eternal Life through the redemption of Christ, vs. 26-29.'"
I love going back and looking at old journal entries and reliving what I've done in the past.
RWC: "By becoming part of the holy order in the premortal world, we entered into a covenant to become Savior's on Mt. Zion to the entire human family, starting with our own families." (p.74)
It snowed off and on today, nothing like the four inches we got yesterday. I made a big breakfast this morning. Hashbrowns, sausage and eggs. It was quite good. And James was probably shocked that I fixed breakfast.
James and I finished the book, "Aunt Dimity Detective," and started the book, "Aunt Dimity Takes a Holiday." I am still reading "Aunt Dimity Goes West."
I got my book shipment ready to mail. Sixteen books at around 47 lbs. James lifted the box and carried it to the car. I can't stop the man. Hopefully it's okay that he's lifting again.
A notary came to our house today so we could sign papers for the closing of our loan. Her name was Peggy Orth. We are so grateful that this closing is finally taking place. Now I wonder how long it will take for us to get our money.
James spoke with Dr. Memon today about the medical mall he has plans to build in Chandler. I'm beginning to wonder if it will ever happen.
Tomorrow is our temple day. I did not have to bake rolls as I had some left over from our Thanksgiving meal in the freezer. I took them out. I am taking some of Kathy Crane's blackberry jalapeno jam along with some strawberry jam to go with the rolls tomorrow.

This was a video. Kacey asked her if she wanted her
to read a book. Charlie's reply: "Yes" in the cutest
little voice ever!
James trying to fix the heater to put out in
the pump house. He succeeded!
So very sad.
Joshua is starring in "A Christmas Carol" at his school on
December 3rd. He is going to play Scrooge. His teacher asked if anyone had any old looking quilts they could use. I sent Stacy these
pictures and told her I could bring them down the day of the play.
My "Nannie" made this one.
