2023 October 12, Journal Entry

I wrote a couple of things last night and put some photos in yesterday's entry. Can't think of anything new so I'll just add this photo I took while walking in the park yesterday evening with Cathy. You can still see the Fall colors and just a little snow right below the clouds. It was a beautiful but cool afternoon.

Come Follow Me 
"Serving others should become a natural part of the life of every follower of our Savior. When we subordinate personal interests out of love and give of ourselves with no thought of receiving in return, we are moving toward becoming true disciples. “The Lord has … commanded his people to care for the poor and needy. He said, ‘And remember in all things the poor and the needy, the sick and the afflicted, for he that doeth not these things, the same is not my disciple.’"
Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, April 1992

Isaiah 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

"Of course, all of us will fall short of our divine potential, and there is some truth in the realization that alone we are not enough. But the good news of the gospel is that with the grace of God, we are enough. With Christ’s help, we can do all things...
The surprising truth is that our weaknesses can be a blessing when they humble us and turn us to Christ."

Sister Michelle D. Craig, First Counselor in the Young Women General Presidency, October 2018

Book of Mormon reading 
Helaman Chapter 3, Many Nephites migrate to the land northward—They build houses of cement and keep many records—Tens of thousands are converted and baptized—The word of God leads men to salvation—Nephi the son of Helaman fills the judgment seat. About 49–39 B.C.

Chapter 4, Nephites dissenters and the Lamanites join forces and take the land of Zarahemla—The Nephites’ defeats come because of their wickedness—The Church dwindles, and the people become weak like the Lamanites. About 38–30 B.C.
