MERRY CHRISTMAS!

After about 15 years of not putting up a Christmas tree (shortly after we acquired three kittens and then continued to add), we decided this year to try with a small tree on a small table.  For the most part, it’s working.  Of course, this go-around, all the ornaments are shatterproof! This is not a good picture at all as the ceiling light was on and reflecting in the window so the lights, etc., on the tree don’t really show.  But, you get the gist.  After having the tree up for a few days, I thought we were going to actually pull it off.  We came really close as you can see.  But he didn’t stay there too long and he didn’t try to do anything to the tree (shocker)!

FROM OUR HOUSE TO YOURS,
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR

And for all of those who may not celebrate Christmas,
HAPPY HOLIDAYS

 

Because of Him

For Easter 2018, watch the short video “Because of Him” and ponder what has happened because of the Savior. (See Mormon.org/video/because-of-him.)

 

Check out this beautiful video from Vocal Point that testifies of Christ’s love and life, “In Christ Alone.”

For all my friends who celebrate, have a blessed Easter. For all others, please enjoy and feel free to check out what it’s all about! ❤

Christmas Wishes

Since this might be my last post for the year, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have gifted me with your likes, your comments, and your friendship. Even though I may never have the opportunity to meet with you in person, you have touched my heart and become a part of my life. I never thought I would see the day that I would have friends all around this big beautiful world. I pray wholeheartedly that each and every one of you will enjoy a blessed holiday season.  I hope to “see” you all next year! I wish you all a very Merry Christmas (for those who celebrate) and a Happy New Year!

The Prince of Peace: Find Lasting Peace Through Jesus Christ

Find peace in a troubled world by learning more of Jesus Christ. This Easter season, learn principles of peace from the #PRINCEofPEACE.

More than 2,000 years after Isaiah called Him the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ is still our key to peace. To learn more of the different principles of peace, click on each heading below.

Peace through Faith

“As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.”
—Mark 5:36

Peace through God’s Word

“But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”
—Matthew 4:4

Peace through Compassion

“And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.”
—Matthew 14:14

Peace through Gratitude

“And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.”
—John 11:41

Peace through Prayer

“And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.”
—Matthew 21:22

Peace through Forgiveness

“Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.”
—Luke 6:37

Peace through Repentance

“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”
—Isaiah 1:18

Peace through Hope

“If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. . . . For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.”
—1 Corinthians 15:19, 22

 Wishing you and yours a very blessed Easter season.

HALLELUJAH!

Follow Him and Find New Life

Hallelujah—Hebrew for “Praise ye the Lord.” But what does it really mean? As we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ this Easter, discover how this ancient exclamation of joy, hope, and love is a fitting summary of Christ’s incomparable mission—and His promise of new life for us all.

Easter is a time to remember all that Jesus Christ has done for us. It’s also a time to consider His simple invitation that has the power to transform us forever:

“Come, follow me.”

Please don’t leave without listening to the world’s largest virtual Hallelujah Chorus!

Wishing each and every one of you a blessed and happy Easter!
