Ponderize #6: November 22-28

Bishop Valentine
Alma 26:37
Now my brethren, we see that God is mindful of every people, whatsoever land they may be in; yea, he numbereth his people, and his bowels of mercy are over all the earth. Now this is my joy, and my great thanksgiving,; yea, and I will give thanks unto my God forever. Amen.

                                                                                                

Brother Gibby:
D&C 39:1
Hearken and listen to the voice of him who is from all eternity to all eternity, the great I AM, even Jesus Christ...

I am loving reading the Doctrine and Covenants because there is no better place to hear both the Savior's voice, and the prophet Joseph's voice. This is a great reminder to actually pay attention when pondering to who is speaking, rather than just sort of reading something.

Brother Burton
D&C 78:19
And he who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious; and the things of this earth shall be added unto him, even an hundred fold, yea, more.

This Thanksgiving, I hope to receive all things in life (including trials) with thankfulness. The Lord provides us so many tender mercies to let us know He is there. I am grateful this morning for the power of the Atonement and the blessings of the sacrament. I am grateful for the restoration of priesthood keys and for a worthy Bishop who exercises those keys in a Christlike manner. Thank you, brethren, for allowing me to serve with you. This truly is the Lord's work and I look forward to many more spiritual experiences with you in the future. Have a great Thanksgiving with you families!
