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.

Adopt A Dog

I would like to know if someone would adopt a precious small black dog—terrier mix. Tonight Martie Hill and I were returning home after dinner at Pei Wei in Denton. As I turned onto Brinker I saw a dog in the street that had apparently been hit by a car. It could not move. It was snowing and the poor dog was shivering terribly. I started to pick it up to take it to the Emergency Hospital but it snapped at me. I called 911 to get a blanket to wrap it in. The cops would not come and said I had to wait for Animal Control. Thankfully a car stopped and they had a blanket that they gave me. I scooped it up and off we went. She was x-rayed and found to have some fractures in her back legs (no long bones) that will heal w/o surgery if she is kept in a small enclosed area for a couple of weeks. Martie agreed to take her home for the night. I couldn’t take her with my 6 cats. If another animal lover is willing to take her and give her a great home…please call me 940/232-6439.

Thanks,
Jonesy
