blocks tagged monday goals rsc star kissed 12 comments tuesday not in the park posted on october 31 2023 by susan nixon hello world it s been a while since i communicated there were a number of reasons for that a visit from my college roommate friends of 58 years a hard bout with the last chemo some body changes that i grappled to conquer some decisions which took a lot of thinking and prayer so i could follow god s will finally at this stage of my life and with all that s happened in the last 2 5 years i think i understand that i need to consult god in all my decisions and i need to put his will first in my life i ll be 76 in mid december took me long enough to get that idea in my head let s get the cancer news out of the way first then we can get to things that are more fun first i m taking a break from chemo there wasn t much that was better nor much that was worse in my last scan comparison certainly not enough to make me feel that the misery i was in was worth any benefit accrued so after much prayer i decided to take this quarter off enjoy the holidays and see how things look in mid january really that s about all the cancer news now there s not much happened in the quilting world the last six weeks i did make some turquoise rsc blocks 8 of them i m also working on the last star kissed block though there are parts missing in this picture that s about it for sewing lately things will be picking up this week though we slipped into fall finally and then went almost directly to winter here s a bit of fall taken about 3 or 4 days ago tonight we have our first of 4 freeze warnings coming up those flowers in the picture above are all sitting inside my deck door now so they don t freeze my african violet is doing so well it only took 13 years in tn to

older posts christmas the gift of love december 25 2023 the gift of love the father knows each of us perfectly our trials and imperfections our longings and losses because he loves us he has given us the greatest gift we could ever receive for god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life john 3 16 because the son likewise loves us he willingly gave his life for us the son doeth not anything save it be for the benefit of the world for he loveth the world even that he layeth down his own life that he may draw all men unto him nephi prophesied of the savior wherefore he commandeth none that they shall not partake of his salvation 2 nephi 26 24 as the savior s disciples in the latter days we have the responsibility and blessing to share the love the father and the son have for us we share that love as we bear testimony to god s children of the precious knowledge we have that god lives that his son came to earth to save us from physical and spiritual death and that in our day the savior has restored his church the church of jesus christ of latter day saints the gift of god s only begotten son is why we celebrate christmas christmas means lasting hope and peace made possible through the savior s atonement and resurrection wrought out of love for us christmas means everlasting life and eternal reunions made possible through sacred ordinances performed in holy temples the main reason we celebrate christmas is because of easter president nelson said he added because of jesus christ we can repent and be forgiven of our sins because of him each of us will be resurrected we read sacred accounts in the new testament of the birth of the savior this story is at the center of many of our favorite christmas traditions as we celebrate his birth however let us not forget that without his resurrection and atonement we would not have christmas the book of mormon bears witness of the reality of the risen christ as well as of the richness and depth of the doctrine of christ during the christmas season those who use the truths about christ found within its pages will add more meaning to their family s christmas celebrations i know that because of the savior s love and central role in the plan of salvation we can receive his peace see john 14 27 and a more excellent hope
