superbowl sunday

What a sweet day! Because it was the Sabbath, we kinda tried to mix the Seahawks in with our Sunday stuff.

For example, to start the day, Jake thought we were sustaining "Russell M. Wilson" (Seahawks QB) at Stake Conference instead of Russell M. Nelson.   

We were reminded of Mosiah 7:18 as we talked about being part of "12saquah," renamed for Superbowl Sunday, and the excitement of being part of the 12th man:

We had family over to eat dinner and yummy snacks.  There was a blessing on the food and the Seahawks.

Drew was putting all of his emphasis on the olives, reminding us of the important Scriptural meanings behind them.

Jake made sure to keep it a day of rest, as well as the big(ger) boys.

We thought of John 13:34 as we got to spend the whole afternoon and evening with family:

   "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you,  that ye also love one another."

 

At the end of the day, Ali prayed that Richard Sherman could feel better quickly, and I washed all of the Seahawks gear so we could be ready for Superbowl Victory Monday. 

Oh, the JOY of a Seahawks Sabbath.
