Week: Nov. 30 - Dec 6, 2015
PONDERIZE. (Ponder and Memorize) Feast upon his words.
Don't forget to save a little money each week too!!
These 2 principles will lead to a better life.
I've been trying to think how to do the Nativity story in 5 scriptures through December to ponderize. I decided I'd put a group of scriptures to ponderize on my fridge each week through the month that is about the Saviors Birth.
I'll start with when Samuel the Lamanite proclaims the birth:

Helaman 14:
2 And behold, he said unto them: Behold, I give unto you a sign; for five years more cometh, and behold, then cometh the Son of God to redeem all those who shall believe on his name.
3 And behold, this will I give unto you for a sign at the time of his coming; for behold, there shall be great lights in heaven, insomuch that in the night before he cometh there shall be no darkness, insomuch that it shall appear unto man as if it was day.
4 Therefore, there shall be one day and a night and a day, as if it were one day and there were no night; and this shall be unto you for a sign; for ye shall know of the rising of the sun and also of its setting; therefore they shall know of a surety that there shall be two days and a night; nevertheless the night shall not be darkened; and it shall be the night before he is born.
5 And behold, there shall a new star arise, such an one as ye never have beheld; and this also shall be a sign unto you.

I'll probably end up singing the Primary Song all week: "Samuel Tells of the Baby Jesus"
A night will be as day,
And Baby Jesus will be born
In a land far, far away."
Chous:
Hosanna! Hosanna!
Oh, let us gladly sing.
How blessed that our Lord was born;
Let earth receive her King!
2. Across the sea, in Bethlehem,
Lord Jesus came to earth
As Samuel had prophesied,
And angels sang His birth.
