Thoughts on Christ

Don't know if I'll get to call y'all today because we are going strawberry picking with some members. If I do it will be around 3 o'clock your time.

I'll share some pictures of my journal entries through google photos with you. Hopefully you can read them. I love you guys a lot. I wanted to share a spiritual thought with y'all. There are some in my journal. Here is a poem I wrote about Christ, per request of President Holland. Love you guys!

Thoughts on Christ

A man -- genuine and kind.

His face -- with radiance -- it brightly shines.

His arms -- to them I run to be clasped.

And become free from the pain of the past.

A hope -- pure a freely given.

Instills in me a purpose, a purpose for liv'n.

No longer His comfort will I refuse.

For limits on His gift are not of use.

My Brother, Best Friend, and Healer Divine.

Desires, for glory, to one day be mine. 

And even, through me, change water to wine. 

He can make of me, so much more. 

But I must endure, to see what's in store.

To be purified even as He is pure.

I hope for the day when He shall appear. 

When I'll see His face and have Him near. 

A man, I will see, genuine and kind.

So bright, glorified, and truly divine.

His arms -- to them I will run to be clasped. 

And express how grateful I am for the past. 

"Forgive me for asking what all the trials were for.

I know now that refinement is required to be pure."
