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.

Honey Order


Sisters,
A group order for local raw honey is being organized by Amy Jukes a sister in Prosper, TX. This is local honey from Desert Creek and can be bought in 1 lb, 2lbs or 5lbs sizes. This is local Raw unfiltered honey, they best kind, especially for allergies. For more information on this honey see the company website: www.desertcreekhoney.com

Orders must be in to Amy by July 4th as she will be taking the orders to the Honey Farm on July 5th. Since Amy was not sure of the response, only 200lbs of honey have been set aside at group order rates!!


Honey is excellent for long term storage because it does not expire and has excellent health benefits and medicinal uses, see: http//www.honey.com/nhb/benefits/

Honey is known as a miracle food, it never goes bad. It was reported that archaeologists found 2000 year old jars of honey in Egyptian tombs and they still tasted delicious! Many people find it rather surprising that bacteria cannot grow in honey, because all things being equal, bacteria loves sugar. The unique chemical composition of low water content and the relatively high acidic level in honey creates a low pH (3.2-4.5) environment that makes it very unfavorable for bacteria or micro-organisms to grow. Thus "Best Before Dates" on honey buckets indicating honey shelf life do not seem to be very important after all.

If you are interested in ordering honey, please contact Bibi Hieftje at 940-498-1744 (home), 940-596-5869 or sfpilot@msn.com and she will forward you the Order Form and Information (Excel spreadsheet with 2 pages). If you have any other questions, contact Bibi Hiefjte directly.

Bithell Farms Freezer Jam and Frozen Fruit Group Order‏

Sisters, (I could not attach the documents. Please call Bibi Hieftje so she can email them to you....)

Attached is the 2010 Product List and Order Ticket (two separate PDF files) for Bithell Farms Frozen Fruit and Freezer Jam. This is an excellent product which most of you that have ordered in past years can attest to. Please feel free to pass this around to your friends. In the past we have put in an order for our ward, but this year we're going to join together with other wards in the stake and Catherine Fredericksen from the Highland Village ward is going to be the point person for gathering and turning in the order.

ORDERS ARE DUE BY JUNE 15TH. Please return only the small Order Ticket with your payment to Catherine Frederiksen, her name and address indicated on the Product List.

Checks should be made payable to Bithell Farms, or you may pay with a credit card. If you are not comfortable writing your credit card info on the order ticket, please contact Catherine Frederickson for instructions on submitting that information directly to Bithell Farms.

We do not have control over where the delivery will take place. Bithell Farms designates the spot based on how many orders go to a particular area. Last year the delivery was at the Tom Thumb parking lot in Flower Mound at the intersection of FM 2499 (Long Prairie) and FM 3040 (Flower Mound Rd.) It is likely it will be there again.

We also have no control over the delivery schedule. It is likely our delivery window will be the end of August through the first week of September. We have no control over the day of week or time of day of delivery (will not be a Sunday and will likely be a midweek day). We will have approximately 5-7 days notice of our delivery date and time. It is VERY important that if you order you are available to pick up your products. If you might have a problem with a midweek, daytime delivery, please coordinate with a friend now to pick up your items for you if you are not available. There is no way to store or hold unclaimed products.

If you are interested in splitting cases of freezer jam, please contact Catherine and she will do her best to match up interested individuals.

If you have further questions feel free to contact Bibi Hieftje at 940-498-1755 (home) 940-597-5869 (cell) or at sfpilot@msn.com

Thank you!

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

Church Tomorrow! =)

Brothers & Sisters,

I just got off the phone with President Petersen and GREAT NEWS!!! We will be able to meet in our building this Sunday as an entire ward with a regular 3 hour block schedule. The cultural hall will be available for our use so we can all fit into one sacrament meeting. (I had considered dividing us in half and doing two – glad that option is not necessary!)

We will have to work around not having the two class rooms under repair in the north foyer. (One of the Nursery classes – I can’t remember who is in the other for Sunday school – It is Deacons for the third hour) The back portion of the cultural hall will have equipment and tables stored.

The plan is to turn off the fans at 7 am Sunday morning and after our meetings are concluded they will restart to finish the drying out process to save the floor. (They believe that they will be able to save the floor)I appreciate everyone’s patience as we have worked through and continue to work through this inconvenience.

Thanks for all you do,
Bishop Liddell
