Where did the time go?
Here it is almost Thanksgiving! What happened to October? I keeping thinking I am so busy but I look around to see what I have been busy doing and there is no evidence of business.
I am knitting a shawl and a scarf. I hope to have the scarf finished in a few days. Pictures will be posted on Ravelry. I am anxious to get the shawl finished too but I needed a break from the lace knitting. There is also some dyed fiber in my basket that is waiting to be spun, not to mention a trunk full of fiber I have accumulated.
Enough of things that I need or want to do. This is the Lord's day and I learned some very important points today at church. One is I need to be closer to Him and to do that I need to read my scriptures every day. Not just sometimes, but every day. If I get to know Him then I will be able to become like Him, not just wish for it. It will take effort on my part. He is doing his part, has done his part, now it is my turn. My sister challenged me this summer to read The Book of Mormon by the end of the year. I started out but did not get very far. I don't know if I will finish by the end of the year but I am going to start reading daily again. After all this is a time of taking stock of all our blessing and what better way to give thanks than by spending time partaking of His words.
Today I am thankful for Jesus Christ and the blessing he so freely gives me.
What are you thankful for?
