My Grown Up Christmas List

I have always loved the quote "The first six letters of Christmas are the most important" Thats what Christmas is all about its about the Saviour and the life He led. He has become my best friend this year. I have become closer to Him this year. I had the opportunity to serve a mission this year, it started out as  a roller coaster but, ever since my mom has joined me it has been a lot better.

This year my brother got married. He married a good girl. She's very nice and beautiful, and I really connect with her.

I have been depressed this christmas, because I'm 28 and i still don't know what I'm doing with my life. Its hard not being able to drive, and  me not being able to be there for my friends, but i know in my heart He is always there for me.

I love my family and friends so much and I am so blessed.

I'm trying to be like Jesus

1. I'm trying to be like Jesus; 
I'm following in his ways. 
I'm trying to love as he did, in all that I do and say. 
At times I am tempted to make a wrong choice, 
But I try to listen as the still small voice whispers, 

2. I'm trying to love my neighbor; 
I'm learning to serve my friends. 
I watch for the day of gladness when Jesus will come 
Again. 
I try to remember the lessons he taught. 
Then the Holy Spirit enters into my thoughts, saying: 

Chorus 
"Love one another as Jesus loves you. 
Try to show kindness in all that you do. 
Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought, 
For these are the things Jesus taught."

All About Him

Christmas is about friends and family.

Christmas is about loved ones,

The real meaning of christmas 

Is about a couple named Mary

& Joseph and how

They brought A baby

boy named Jesus into the world.

Its all about Him and His Birth

He is the greatest gift to the world.

Bruce R McConkie

The story behind "I believe in Christ"  Bruce McConkie's testimony was used to write the lyrics to the hymn, "I believe in Christ".  This is a personal account from Sister McConkie.

Some 15 years ago, my husband, Bruce R. McConkie  was very ill.    The doctor told us he had two months to live, at the most.   However, Bruce felt he still had some things he wanted to do.  The Brethren gave him a blessing and  his family gathered to share their faith and prayers.   He lived an additional fourteen months,   although he was very ill much of that time.   He never thought he wasn't going to get better.   He told me time and time again that this was the Lord's test for him, and  that he had enough faith in and of himself to be healed. Early in February, on an overcast day much like today,  I decided to make a pie to cheer him up, as he loved pie.   While I was  doing this he lay on the floor in our bedroom, which he often did.   He had a pencil and paper in hand and was writing.   Then he came into the kitchen  where I was working and said, " Do you want to hear what I'm going to talk about  in conference?" The pie was almost finished and I wanted to get it in the oven,   but I soon realized that you don't make pies while he's talking like this.   So I stopped and sat down to listen.   He read to me his talk, and I said,   It's the most beautiful thing you've ever written, but how will  you ever do it?"   He was so ill and so weak.   "I don't know," he answered, "but I will." His doctor was so worried,  'You've got a dying  man on your hands.   You must not let him speak at conference.   If he tries, he will collapse on nationwide television."   But I couldn't try to stop him.   He was determined to do it and nothing could have stopped him.  Our son said,  "I don't think there's anything Dad wanted to do more than preach   that last sermon at conference."   So our children fasted together, asking that their father  would have the physical and emotional strength to fulfill his wish. "During the Saturday morning session of April 1985 General Conference,  a thin Bruce R. McConkie took his place at the pulpit  and despite  his weakened condition, he bore majestic testimony to the truths so  integral to his life and mission.   He testified, "I am one of his witnesses,  and in a coming day,  I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in  his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears.   But I shall not know any better then   than I know now that  He is God's Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation  Comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way."   (Excerpted from his conference address - A great read if you've got time!). The following Sunday Elder Packer visited him   at home and gave him a blessing, in which he  told Bruce he should "quit resisting the will of the Lord."   We both knew what he meant.   At the conclusion, with tears running down his face,  Bruce looked at me as I stood at the foot of the bed, and said, " Amelia, do you know what he just did?"    "Yes," I answered, "he has sealed you unto death." That was so hard on Bruce.   He wanted so much to live.   But as I showed Elder Packer out, Bruce got up,  folded the bedspread as he always did at night,  got ready for bed, and got under the covers.   Always before he would insist that  I make the bed and he would lay on top of it, fully dressed. But this was his way of saying to the Lord,  "I am bowing to your will."  He passed away a short time later. "What a great blessing to have the beautiful hymn,  "I Believe in Christ", taken from his testimony.   This page was  last  updated:    November 28,  2006 Home  |  SugarDoodle Shoppe |  My Favorite Websites  |  View all Subjects  |   Contact Me

What would you do if the Saviour Stood beside you??

 I've been thinking about this question a lot lately and my response is  if the Saviour stood beside me, I would  walk beside Him. I would tell Him my desires my dreams my fear.  He would  take me in his arms and He would say "Jessica I love you, I have a bright future in store for you." I can't wait for that day its going to be a beautiful day.
