Oh, what a beautiful morning.
Moroni 10: 3-7
Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts.
And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things.
And whatsoever thing is good is just and true; wherefore, nothing that is good denieth the Christ, but acknowledgeth that he is.

It may not be an outright acknowledgement, but just in being good and true, it acknowledges God and Christ, be it The Chronicles of Narnia or the beauty of a horse running.

And God's truth can be learned partly through doing it, obeying His word and being kind to our fellow man and having faith in Christ and His Atonement. Then the Holy Spirit also can testify to us of the truth. Love, hugs, and God bless you. Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father love you! May you feel the Holy Spirit's guidance and follow.

Equus: Dear Night Shade2, no, I don't think it's a list of the advent candles. But that's a cool thought. ^_^

God bless you all, and Merry Christmas. Remember, Christ loves you. Glomps and pocket hugs, and take care. Love!

Fact of the day: Hannukah has the menorah with seven candles. Why? Because the Jews had been chased out of Jerusalem, and when they fought their way back, they found only enough oil to keep the perpetual light going for one day. But making more oil took six or seven days. But the little bit of oil lasted until more oil had been made. ^_^ So it's a celebration of God's miracle. Did it really happen? I don't know, but I believe it could have. With God, for His children, anything is possible.

(I may not have the details exactly correct. ^/^ If you know, please tell me.)

"Christmas means giving. The Father gave his Son, and the Son gave his life. Without giving there is no true Christmas, and without sacrifice there is no true worship."
~ Gordon B. Hinckley, "What Shall I Do Then with Jesus Which Is Called Christ?" Ensign, Dec. 1983, 3

"Marriage provides shelter for the child who enters mortality innocent and helpless. Marriage ensures security and happiness for parents as well."
~ President Boyd K. Packer, "Little Children", Ensign, Nov. 1986, 18
