Journal Entry:

As I wrote yesterday, I've got a cold and slept only a little better last night. Today will be mostly rest for me. Old age sometimes includes uncomfortable difficulties. Fortunately I'm blessed in so many ways that I can just relax and try to get well.

I read a talk today by Elder Donald L. Hallstrom of The Seventy that included this which sat well with me:

"Today I testify of miracles. Being a child of God is a miracle. Receiving a body in His image and likeness is a miracle. The gift of a Savior is a miracle. The Atonement of Jesus Christ is a miracle. The potential for eternal life is a miracle.

While it is good to pray for and work for physical protection and healing during our mortal existence, our supreme focus should be on the spiritual miracles that are available to all of God’s children."

Come Follow Me:

2 Kings 20:16 And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the Lord.

"…In the coming days, I invite you to kneel, open your hearts, and pray with faith to Heavenly Father, asking Him to confirm to you that His chosen prophet and apostles are His voice on the earth today.

…I promise you that once we know they are God’s anointed ones, our lives will be easier in spite of our ongoing challenges, as we will obey their voices with trust, faith, and hope. To listen to and obey the voice of the prophet is crucial to holding on to every good thing until the Second Coming of our Savior."
