Journal Entry

We enjoyed a nice Thanksgiving day meal and visit at Eileen Black's home (Meredith's mom). And pretty much relaxed the rest of the day. 

Cathy's health seems to be improving. We're hoping to get some exercise today then we have an Endowment session scheduled for tomorrow morning at our Mt Timpanogos Temple at 0630.

The weather has been good but cold. I'll see if I have the will to decorate the front of the house either today or tomorrow. I can't really do any climbing on stools so I'm not sure how much decorating I can actually accomplish but we'll see.

Come Follow Me 

Ether 12: 26... the Lord spake unto me, saying: Fools mock, but they shall mourn; and my grace is sufficient for the meek, that they shall take no advantage of your weakness;

27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.

28 Behold, I will show unto the Gentiles their weakness, and I will show unto them that faith, hope and charity bringeth unto me—the fountain of all righteousness.

"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...

The surprising truth is that our weaknesses can be a blessing when they humble us and turn us to Christ. Discontent becomes divine when we humbly approach Jesus Christ with our want, rather than hold back in self-pity...

Have you ever felt your talents and gifts were too small for the task ahead? I have. But you and I can give what we have to Christ, and He will multiply our efforts. What you have to offer is more than enough—even with your human frailties and weaknesses—if you rely on the grace of God."
