Magnify the Priesthood, Arise, Awake!

"We have been reserved in the spirit world for thousands of years, to stand in the flesh in the latter days, and to take God's kingdom and build it up.

Understanding these things then, what are we, as Latter-day Saints, thinking about? We have got a great warfare to fight. Lucifer, the son of the morning, and all his hosts, are united against us. We are but a little handful, compared with the inhabitants of the earth. There never were but few men and women, in any age of the world, who were independent enough to reject evil and to serve the Lord. But we have been counted worthy to be numbered as His people.

It is time, therefore, that we arose, that we awoke, and that, clothed upon with the power of God and the Holy Priesthood, we should magnify this Priesthood and obtain the blessings belonging thereto."
President Wilford Woodruff

RICHARD'S FARM

I LOVED my day with Richard at his farm (the Elliot house). He works so hard to make things nice, trimming the big front trees, getting the grass nice, making a stone sidewalk - and now he's a gardener too! He works so hard at his HVAC job and was still working last night when dad called him. Also, Bailey's mom hired him to cut her huge trees and he did it at 1/2 the cost of the tree companies! Richard, you are an incredible worker!

I got to take Roxie and Maddaux with me and it was like a field trip for them - playing with the baby chicks that Bailey brought to Richard as a gift. Maddaux was traumatized with the cats at first, but soon came out from the corner. Maybe the 3-legged cat was a little too much - but Tripod is a definate favorite!

I remembered something I once heard - "Who you become is an average of the top 5 people and activities you spend you life with". Richard is love - Richard is work - Richard is kind. His life is filled with goodness. We love you Richard!
