Pondering . . .

I went to sacrament meeting by my self today. Ron was a little under the weather with a cold and bad cough. He didn't want to cough during church, so he stayed home. It was Ward Conference. we had good speakers, our Bishop and the second counselor spoke. They reminded us how important tithing is and the blessings of paying it. The bishop noted that during tithing settlement, even though someone isn't declaring their own tithing, he makes a declaration anyway in those cases.

President Daily told us to be sure to fast and pray this next week for Fast Sunday for moisture and rain that is much needed for our area, and is almost a drought he said. well, I think we got a good start of things to come since we woke up to snow!! Interesting. We need it yes, but hope the budding blossoms on the apricot trees are spared and will still have fruit to bare.
We had Sunday school with a stake leader teaching the lesson. He taught on the Miracles of Jesus. I appreciate hearing and knowing of all that the Savior did while he was on the earth. I know he did what he did through the power of God within him, and his divinity. We are blessed with the power of the priesthood to heal the sick and bless the blind to see and raise those who have dead and are called back. I know it has been done and what a blessing to enjoy having the priesthood restored and manifested through our faith and worthiness to receive those blessings.
