BOOK OF MORMON CORNER
Today's Reading - Mosiah 18: 1-16
Question - What have you learnt from the reading today? What does it mean to you to 'bear, mourn, comfort and stand as a witness'?
Question - What have you learnt from the reading today? What does it mean to you to 'bear, mourn, comfort and stand as a witness'?
Thoughts - To bear one another's burdens is to
genuinely care about what people are going through and to say 'I've got
something to help you with...' rather than 'get in touch if you need
anything' (sorry if that's controversial). To mourn with those that mourn
is to genuinely empathize with people when something bad has happened in
their life, or if they have regrets that they can't get over. And to
comfort those that stand in need is to be selfless and notice when
people are upset or needy whether they tell you or not, to be a real
friend to people not just obliged to help because you're both members of
the church. We have to live our religion from the inside out, if our
hearts are in the right place we will do these things naturally.
If
we do these things and live how Jesus wants us to, we will be witnesses
of Christ in our actions, but we also need to be bold enough to tell
people that we believe in Christ, and that it is because of him that we live
the way we do. 'Teach the Gospel at all times, and if necessary, use
words'
It's living a Christ centred life,
following the example He set in His life. It's letting the light you
have, the testimony you have shine through your thoughts, words and
deeds. It's pushing against the natural man. A life time pursuit!
Tomorrow's Reading (Day 118) - Mosiah 18:17-35
Question - What have you learnt from the reading today? What does this tell us about members of the Lord's church?
In The English Kitchen today . . . Parma Chicken & Vegetables Bake. Simple and delicious, and all in one pan.
Have a great Friday. We aren't going to the West Coast of Wales today, we are just going to our friends Tina and Tony's for lunch. Best laid plans and all that!
Don't forget!

And I do too!
Hi, Marie! Lots of fun here for Friday! LOVE the idea of those upcycled egg cartons decorated for Easter giving! Mini marshmallows = bunny tails, oh that is sooo CUTE! The Easter chick wreath is so much fun--all that fun full! I can't believe how fast the days are going, Easter will soon be on our doorstep. The bee hive egg cozy is sooo cute. And LOVE that Retro Breakfast Set! I gotta make that. Now I'm learning how to do do colorwork/stranded knitting I can do that! ;) What a clever crochet edging, with the petals... Those Little Women paper dolls are calling my name... *sigh*...and so are those felt flowers! Wow, I craft ideas for all summer thanks to this lovely post, Marie! And delicious dinner too---that chicken dish looks YUM! :))) Pity about your Wales plans, but hopefully another time... Wishing you all a very happy weekend now! LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH!! ((BIG HUGS))
ReplyDeleteThanks Tracy! So happy you found so much you liked here today! Love you very much dear friend. Always. Hope you have a super weekend as well! xoxo
DeleteI do love Irish Soda bread, but sadly only make it once a year for St. Patrick's day. It's like having pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving. We love it but usually only have it once a year! And I love that cute idea of a bag full of bunny tails. Hope you enjoy your day...planned or not !
ReplyDeleteIt is much the same here Pam! I thought of you and your grands with the bunny tails! xoxo
DeleteLots of pretty finds! Made my first Irish Soda bread..raisins and caraway..good..very scone like..?Pretty pretty things Marie and always appreciate what you find and share for us:) !
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Monique! There are so many versions of Irish Soda Bread! I confess I love the fruited ones best of all! But I am a nut for fruit in bread! xoxo
Deleteoh you have turned into my FAIRY GODMOTHER *.*
ReplyDeleteSO HAPPY I found your site—you're going to be my constant companion now—especially since you offer so many things that I love and need in my Life!

You are welcome Teri! You live in a most beautiful part of America! I have always wanted to visit Oregon! xoxo
DeleteGreat sites to go on Marie! Internet isn't strong on my phone..comment box doesn't always open.
ReplyDeleteShoveling again..won't go away! Lol.
Cooked a turkey..sleep comes easier.
Oh, I remember the built in drawers..had 8 big ones. Bookcases that slid out for storage in each room upstairs..cubby holes. Two sliding closets 1 on each side..loved that room. The house I grew up in..Dad jack of all trades. Brick fireplace outside..shed to play house.. rope swing from tree..tarzan rope. Basketball hoop..big jumping balls..outside games. Big fresh pile of sand every year for neighborhood to play with tonka toys. Big garden..shared with next door neighbor..made into ice rink in winter. That went bc someone broke a leg and tried to sue them.
My parents planted corn at the end of the field that everyone took..not asking..was plenty for everyone. Big baseball field b4 houses built..flower beds everywhere..wild flowers. Never realized the richness we had..middle class. Even a little store down a few streets. I was young..use to stare at the guys and made them nervous..all their friends behaved..lol.
Heard people that bought the house tore all the built-ins out upstairs..crazy. Light green shingles on house painted a bright blue..bright red garage..ruined house..mean people..neighbor even moved..always wanted to see house again..so many memories!
Long winded lol..going to make a fruit salad. Hope you had a great day!xo
No worries about long winded Jan! Because my father was in the airforce and we lived mostly on air bases, almost all if not all of my childhood homes have now been torn down. Its sad really. I have noplace to visit. xoxo
DeleteHi Marie~
ReplyDeleteThere are few things in life that make me as happy as a good flaky pie crust...and felt flowers...:0)
Can you believe that Easter is right around the corner? And I'm so glad that it's during General Conference, that makes me happy!
I have a grand with a birthday on, St. Patrick's Day, so we always have a really fun, green day, usually with lots of pinches, just for fun. ]
I loved paper dolls when I was a girl, my favorite were, the Lennon sisters, I loved them. I still like to watch them on, The Lawrence Welk show...I'm fuddy duddy like that.
Serving others always makes you feel better, brings you closer to, Christ and brings untold blessings!
Love to you and Todd!
XOXOXO
Barb
Happy Birthday to your Grand Barb! I think if you are lucky enough to have a birthday on a holiday, it will never be forgotten! Oh, I LOVED the Lennon Sisters also and had their paper dolls! We have so many similarities. We could be twins! Love and hugs, xoxo
DeleteReally enjoyed looking at your Friday Finds. You do find some amazing items.
ReplyDeleteI loved the campside shawl; it looked warm. Your Easter finds were fun and I will look at some of the links. I did like the St. Patrick ones. I don't decorte a lot of that holiday for some reason. I should do some more. I love Irish Soda bread; yummy! I liked the pattern finds; cute. The Petal Edging is beautiful. Cute tree knitting ornament. I really like the porch swing; I want one. Thanks for the repellant recipes. I love loved paper dolls. Little Women ones would be tempting even at my age. I just attended a funeral for a dear friend today so it was great to read your Book of Mormon thoughts.
Another great read!
Sending warm thoughts and big hugs yur way!
Oh, I am so sorry to read about your friend LeAnn! Consolation is that they are in a much better place. I never decorate much for any holiday except for Christmas these days and even that has been scaled down! Love and hugs for you! xoxo
