God is aware of our needs as was manifest by a package of old broken up chocolate chip cookies.

We are where we should be if we do what we know is right.

Maybe we should evaluate our gifts.
Sometimes giving no actual gift is the best gift and most value.

I think this year, I will detail what I pray for my children and whatever is received will be best regardless what I give.

AypWhat can we give to Jesus? Use a manager acting out words as it is read from Luke

We will not appreciate the Savior until we need him much like a horse will not drink until he is thirsty.

By the grace of God I am what I am. Corinthians

Baptism qualifies us for celestial kingdom.

Faith in God will enable repentance, and our hearts will be changed.

Book of life kept in Heaven.

Overcome the world in faith. How we overcome things that as mortals beset us.

People who seem to reject the gospel, might not ultimately reject things, they only rejected it during your mission.

Maybe justice is only ulsed with mercy in the final judgement.

Difference between being taught things vs receiving.

Holy ghost is it a singular person does he never have a body? He visit the lowest kingdom are there a endless number of possibilities meaning paths because the Holy Ghost visits how long.

Joseph Smith. Lorenzo Snow spoke well of him, as an associate. His words were trusted as truth from a man of God.

14 yr olds thirst for knowledge. He was an honest young man unfamiliar with the trickery and sophistry of the day:

“I knew Joseph Smith to be an honest man, a man of truth, honor and fidelity, willing to sacrifice everything he possessed, even life itself, as a testimony to the heavens and the world that he had borne the truth to the human family.”

He started out hesitant but ended up strong and one could tell the spirit was strong with him because his strength grew with faith, and it could be felt when he spoke.

He rarely demonstrated annoyance, just the thing I was trying to instill in Joseph my son this morning.

Wrestling like and doing things makes those we esteem as being more human.

President Monson showed how he wiggled his ears.

Toward the latter part of his life Joseph Smith became a master of strength and influence over his fellows. This fact was brought very vividly to my attention on my return from a mission to Europe. I noticed and even remarked to him that he had changed very much since I last saw him; that he had become stronger and more powerful. He admitted this and said that the Lord had endowed him with additional portions of His Spirit.

An amazing spirit fills the room when he is taught, or when Lorenzo told of shaking his hand.

Teacher visited the Sesquhanah river on mission to PA.

It is because of Joseph Smithand all that he did we have all that we have, which included the instructions today on how to be more Christ centered.
