    What a lovely Sunday, thank you for sharing. It's so interesting to hear about other faiths. I was raised by agnostic parents and found my way to God in my teens and was baptised into the Church of Scotland when I was 15. My family are good people but are not religious. I've always found my faith to be a great comfort, especially when my husband died. I miss him so terribly but know we will meet again. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas, take care. 🌟🎄🎁🎄🌟

    Thank you for sharing. I enjoy learning about other faiths and how they live their everyday lives. I have worked for the Episcopal Church for 11 years. I think if people stopped for a moment, they would see that we all have a lot in common regardless of where we live, what our nationality is, or what religion we choose. We all need to live everyday to be kind and respectful of each other regardless of our differences. I have watched a lot of your videos and you always are cheerful and have a kind spirit. I really enjoyed the mall shopping trip.

    Thank you for answering my question when Mark talked about having been on a two year mission and I knew this was. I feel it is hard because when I was with my first husband I had the privilege of being sealed in the Seattle Temple. I was able to have my Dad sealed to his family and it was wonderful. I was an active member for 10 years prior to Larry joining he was Baptist in St. George ward by the same Missionaries as me. Although I have been married again I still follow the teachings of Christ and I am very proud of my faith. This past year my husband Larry passed away and I was Blessed to spend his last days with him and he still knew where he was going home to his Heavenly Father. He knew that he would be with my Mom and those who would be there to Greetings him. I am glad that he is home I know that his life will be blessed. Thank you for being able to show what true Saints act. God Bless you all. I hope to one day meet you all. My second husband Graeme is a Baptist but has never been negative about my Faith. We were married in 2002 in Chilliwack, British Columbia, CANADA. LARRY and I were married in 1979 I was sealed to him and will remain that way until and will be then with him in my Eternal home.

    One of my high school best friends is a member of the LDS church. I honestly had never heard of the Faith until I met her in 9th grade. Her family is very nice and happy and I’ve noticed a lot of people are who are members of the church. Growing up as a nondenominational Christian it is very different from what I’m used to. Glad you keep the sabbath day holy and just relax before the next week ahead.

Its been 20 years now and I am still in awe of how glorious God is.

    Thank you for sharing about your faith. I have to admit the only exposure I have had is the Osmond family. Hope your family has a wonderful Christmas!

    I grew up as a Mennonite and I’m finding a lot of similarities in our faith ! So wonderful to know that you are raising your family in faith ! Blessings to you all this Christmas season ! 🎄💖🤗🙏🏼
