Joseph and Hiram at Carthage Jail near Nauvoo, Illinois. I have been there and saw the place where Joseph's and Hiram's blood was shed and the stains lie on the floor of the jail, even today. It made quite an impression.
Moro. 7: 47-48
47 But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.
48 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure. Amen.
I am teaching this week in Relief Society, and the theme of the lesson is this scripture. I have learned much this month to have more charity for others having had some opposition from extended family at the passing of my brother, David. I have unconditional love for him and them and pray for their hearts to be soften through the blood and the love the Christ has for all of us.
