Faithful Friends

One of the great tributes the Savior can give is to call us “friends.” We know that He loves with a perfect love all of His Heavenly Father’s children. Yet for those who have been faithful in their service with Him, He reserves this special title. You remember the words from the 84th section of the Doctrine and Covenants: “And again I say unto you, my friends, for from henceforth I shall call you friends, it is expedient that I give unto you this commandment, that ye become even as my friends in days when I was with them, traveling to preach the gospel in my power” (D&C 84:77). We become His friends as we serve others for Him. He is the perfect example of the kind of friend we are to become. He wants only what is best for His Heavenly Father’s children. Their happiness is His happiness. He feels their sorrow as His own because He has paid the price of all their sins, taken upon Himself all their infirmities, borne all their troubles, and felt all their longings. His motives are pure. He seeks no recognition for Himself but to give all glory to His Heavenly Father. The perfect friend, Jesus Christ, is completely selfless in offering happiness to others Pres.

Special Christmas Elf

Last Christmas I had a secret Elf that left me food storage and awesome poems for the `12 Days of Christmas’. This year I had one big package for all 12 days with an incredible poem about food storage and me traveling. Anyway, I want to say a humble thanks to whoever has blessed me with these gifts. I literally fell to my knees in prayer and gratitude when I opened the package. I love this church, our ward and this/these individual(s) even though the identity remains a secret!

Thanks,
Jonesy
