3-2023 September 13, Journal Entry, Happy Birthday Cathy

Today is Cathy's 73rd birthday. She is beautiful and loves me. A great gift to me.

We served in the Bishops Storehouse yesterday. Nothing noteworthy. 

I have to be at the temple and ready to go at 0500 so no Book of Mormon reading today but I generally get at least two chapters a day and today my temple assignment includes five - count 'em -five straight veils to close out my day so I'll get some scripture browsing done in the Veil worker waiting rooms. Unless I'm needed to fill in somewhere which happens. We'll see.

Come Follow Me 

2 Corinthians 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

"Even in the most difficult and darkest of times, there is light and goodness all around us...

However, the adversary would rather have us focus on “mists of darkness … which blindeth the eyes, … hardeneth … hearts … , and … leadeth … away.”

Nevertheless, with perfect understanding of the challenges of our day, the Lord promises, “That which is of God is light; and he that receiveth light, and continueth in God, receiveth more light; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day.”

We are children of God. Receiving light, continuing in God, and receiving more light are what we are created to do. From the very beginning, we followed the light; we followed our Heavenly Father and His plan. Seeking the light is in our spiritual DNA."

Elder Mark A. Bragg of The Seventy, April 2017
