SCRIPTURE OF
THE DAY:
3 Nephi 1:13-14
|
|
" Lift up your head and be of good cheer; for
behold, the time is at hand, and on this night shall the sign be
given, and on the morrow come I into the world, to show unto the world that I
will fulfil all that which I have caused to be spoken by the mouth of my holy
prophets. Behold, I come unto
my own, to fulfil all things which I have made known unto the children of
men from the foundation of the world, and to do the will, both of the
Father and of the Son--of the Father because of me, and of the Son because of my
flesh. And behold, the time is at hand, and this night shall the sign be
given." |
QUOTE OF THE DAY:
Lorenzo Snow
|
"We are all dependent upon Jesus Christ, upon his coming into the
world to open the way whereby we might secure peace, happiness and exaltation.
And had he not made these exertions we never could have been secured in these
blessings and privileges which are guaranteed unto us in the gospel, through the
mediation of Jesus Christ, for he made the necessary exertions"
(Deseret News, Mar. 11, 1857, p.
3).

Dearest Friends, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A VERY VERY HAPPY NEW
YEAR ! !
This is a beautiful video telling of Christ's birth. If
you'd like to watch it tonight, it will be helping keep the tradition, when we
read out of the Bible, Luke chapter 2, verses 1 to 19. Also in Matthew, Chapter
2 verses 1 through 12 tell of the wise men coming.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL YOU DEAR PEOPLE. WE HOPE YOU TAKE TIME
NOW AND THEN TO READ FROM OUR BLOG:
Sam, our grandson, called it an "online journal" that you
allow the public to read. It is sort of like that, but my desire is for it to
give an emotional and spiritual lift to any of you who are reading
it. I do know some are reading it from several countries (now and then) --
and up to today there have been over 4000 page views. I do hope it is uplifting
someone. That is about all I can do at this time in my life -- All our lives
are so busy.
It will always be on the internet, so if you want to know
"what Grandma (Pal) is thinking today", as Marion, (granddaughter) put it,
(about the blog) you can "tune in".
WE LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH ! ! !
PAL AND WAYNE
