SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
Alma 37:37

"Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day."
 
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Russell M. Nelson

"One of the things the Spirit has repeatedly impressed upon my mind since my new calling as President of the Church is how willing the Lord is to reveal His mind and will. The privilege of receiving revelation is one of the greatest gifts of God to His children.

"Through the manifestations of the Holy Ghost, the Lord will assist us in all our righteous pursuits" ("Revelation for the Church, Revelation for Our Lives," Ensign, May 2018).

 

I don't know if anyone in Westport will remember that day, but I will never forget it.  As I "liken all scriptures" unto myself as Nephi directed us to do (1 Nephi 19:23-24),  I feel the Savior's love in the words, "fear not."
