[perfect in Christ]


-382,997,219 + infinity = infinity
-72,385 + infinity = infinity
-9,416 + infinity = infinity
56,397 + infinity = infinity
471 + infinity = infinity
etc.


The older I get, the more I realize how weak I am by myself. Grace is needed in order to become strong.

(I asked my youth Sunday School class to pick one quote from the week's reading and make something with that quote. I tend to doodle flowers.)

#givethanks





I'm grateful for a living prophet who knows exactly what the world needs right now. I'm grateful for #givethanks and how it helped so many people to stop thinking about problems and to focus on gratitude for blessings instead. The world is full of good things and good people. Even during a pandemic. We find what we focus on. 

President Nelson's #givethanks video


President Nelson's prayer for the world:

Our Father in Heaven, as fellow passengers on Thy planet Earth, we humbly pray unto Thee.  We thank Thee for life and all that sustains life. We thank Thee for the beauties of the earth, for order in the universe, the planets, stars, and all things of eternal significance. We thank Thee for Thy laws that protect and guide us. We thank Thee for Thy mercy and loving watch care. We thank Thee for our families and loved ones, who fill our lives with joy.

We are grateful for all who are striving to combat the COVID pandemic. Please bless them with protection and inspiration. Wilt Thou help us end this virus that has plagued so many of Thy children.

We thank Thee for the leaders of nations and others who strive to lift us. We pray for relief from political strife. Wilt Thou bless us with a healing spirit that unites us despite our differences. 

Wilt Thou also help us repent from selfishness, unkindness, pride and prejudice of any kind, so that we can better serve and love one another as brothers and sisters, and as Thy grateful children. We love Thee, our dear Father, and pray for Thy blessings upon us, in the name of Thy Beloved son, Jesus Christ, amen.
