2023 December 12, Tuesday, Journal Entry

I updated all of my electronic devices, iPad, iPhone and Apple watch, to their latest operating systems. The technology available today is truly amazing and, when properly used, it's a great blessing. There's no way I would be writing daily journal entries without this iPad. Plus the Come Follow Me lessons that are available couldn't possibly be reviewed by me any other way. I just hope that through the coming years and events that this technology will last and I have to believe that it will. I have an unbreakable testimony that my Father in Heaven and His beloved son stand for what is good and true. If I strive to follow their teachings I will always be in a good place.

Cathy continues to struggle with her health. But through it all she does good things for others... Especially for me. She is such a blessing in my life and the lives of our sons and their families. We have a couple of medical appointments for her today and then we will serve in the Bishops Storehouse this afternoon. That is something we both enjoy doing together.

Come Follow Me 

“In His atoning sacrifice, Jesus Christ took upon Himself our pains, afflictions, and infirmities. Because of this, He knows ‘according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities’ (Alma 7:12; see also verse 11). He invites, ‘Come unto me,’ and as we do, He gives us rest, hope, strength, perspective, and healing (Matthew 11:28; see also verses 29–30).

“As we rely on Jesus Christ and His Atonement, He can help us endure our trials, sicknesses, and pain. We can be filled with joy, peace, and consolation. All that is unfair about life can be made right through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.”

We can joyfully be peaceable followers of Christ.

Elder Quentin L. Cook Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, October 2023

Revelation 7:17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
