Merry Christmas

“Lift up your head and be of good cheer; for behold, the time is at hand, and on this night shall the sign be given, and on the morrow come I into the world, to show unto the world that I will fulfil all that which I have caused to be spoken by the mouth of my holy prophets” 3 Nephi 1:13

May you all have a blessed and wonderful Christmas, and may the peace of this season be with you through out the New Year.

Christmas Eve Snow

This is what I woke up to Friday morning, so I got a picture of it on my way out to go to work. It snowed all day and we ended up with about 7 inches of snow. Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas :).

Merry Christmas

1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.

2 (and this taxing was the first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)

3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, unto Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David)

5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger: because there was no room for them in the inn.

8 And there were in the same country sheperds abiding in the filed, keeping watch over their flock by night.

9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host prasing God, and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. (St Luke 1:1-14)

Navuoo Temple

Early Morning Trip to Navuoo, IL

I had the chance to go to Navuoo again. It’s about a 2 & 1/2 hr drive and it was cold with a bit of freezing rain this morning until we were about 1/2 hr out of Iowa City. The Temple in Navuoo is so beautiful inside.

On the way home we stopped at Stringtown Grocery (a grocery store with lots of bulk spices etc) run by the Amish. I’ve been there once before and hadn’t noticed that their lights are gas lights since they don’t use electricity. I love their bulk spices and other bulk items. I was able to do some knitting on the way back (I was napping on the way up :P.)

I hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas Season and that we are remembering the “reason” for this season. May the Lord bless and keep you all.

Merry Christmas
