@DeseretPews Imagine this- After a terrible tragedy and people want to help , it’s met with criticism and hate! Also to say we are not Christian’s is a slap to the face. Our beliefs, our Savior, our Church is called the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!
@DrTechNC@trumplicans2024 They usually don’t get their food paid for! I have 2 sons who are Officers and most of the time they are Paying for their own food.
Mother’s Day can evoke a wide range of emotions—everything from deep gratitude for our mothers to worry that you haven’t done enough as a mother to the longing for the privilege of giving birth in this life. Regardless of your situation, I invite every woman to consider the remarkable relationship that the Lord Jesus Christ had with His mother, Mary.
Repeatedly the Savior gave her special care and attention. Consider just three examples from His life and teachings.
The first miracle Jesus Christ performed during His mortal ministry began with a request from His mother during a family gathering. His eager response signaled his love and respect: “What wilt thou have me to do for thee? that will I do…” (See John 2:4, JST.)
The second example came at the most poignant time in the Savior’s mortal life. As he suffered unspeakable pain on the cross, Jesus focused His compassion on the well-being of His mother. Looking down to His Apostle John, standing next to Mary, He said, “Behold thy mother.” His meaning was clear: John was to care for Mary.
Finally, consider the way the Savior compared His concern for His wayward brothers and sisters to that of a mother. “How oft would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings.” When a mother pleads with the Lord on behalf of a struggling child, she does so knowing that the Savior understands perfectly what she is feeling.
I am deeply grateful for the remarkable women in my life who have enriched and mothered me, my family, and countless others in life-changing ways. Every woman has within her the essence of motherhood. Every woman is in a position to help build and change lives. May you each know that our Heavenly Father and His Beloved Son know you, see you, and love you. Happy Mother’s Day!
Unless we see all the meaning and joy of Christmas—the whole of Christ’s life, His profound mission, the end as well as the beginning—then Christmas will be just another day off work with food and fun and festivities.
The true meaning—the unique, joyous meaning—of the birth of Jesus Christ was not confined to those first hours in Bethlehem but would be realized in the life He would lead and in His death, in His triumphant atoning sacrifice, and in His prison-bursting Resurrection. These are the realities that make Christmas joyful.
This year, let us remember the greatest gift ever given: the Atonement and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
@ChristoffDTodd Thank you for this message! I have been so stressed! My son is returning home from serving his 2 year mission in the Dominican Republic! I haven’t stopped to think about my Savior Jesus Christ. I Love him! I Love my Son and his love for the people of the Dominican Republic
The Babe of Bethlehem, the Lord Jesus Christ, is our Savior and our Redeemer. He is the Son of God, the Holy One of Israel. He is the Anointed One.
Let us live in the spirit of “Hallelujah,” ever praising the Lord God Jehovah. At this glorious Christmas season, come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!
@RonaldARasband My son is currently in the Santo Domingo West mission. He has loved the mission and the people of the DR! He comes home in 22 days! what an experience it has been for him! The gospel has changed his life, and all those he has taught. The Savior lives he loves us and I love him!
@emiweelee I don’t see how this is the Church’s fault? So quick to place blame? The blame you’re looking for is on the parents of the boy!! Everyone has their free agency.
