How special is the number five?
Thinking about five on this fifth day of the fifth month, I am reminded of the human body, divinely designed with five fingers on each hand and five toes on each foot. Five senses help us survive and enjoy life: sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. (Who knows what our five senses will do for us in life on the other side?)
My wife Kay & I are blessed with five children, who are all amazing adults. Three daughters-in-law and two sons-in-law make a total of five loving spouses. They definitely deserve an exuberant, virtual “high five”!
Words of inspiration are received in five sessions of every worldwide General Conference. Also in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we learn from five works of scripture, including the Old and New Testaments contained in the Holy Bible , and the Book of Mormon — Another Testament of Jesus Christ. We know that the prophet Moses was the author of five books that bear his name: “The First Book of Moses called Genesis” through “The Fifth Book of Moses Called Deuteronomy” in the Authorized King James Version.
Although I try not to dwell on fast food, we can’t forget Five Guys (made-to-order ... plus free peanuts), a favorite of the young elders in our Michigan Detroit Mission (2018). In fact, I plan to visit Five Guys in The Junction, a leisurely five-minute walk from Farr Better Ice Cream across the street from me. (Would you eat a cool dessert first or last?)
Hey, give me five!
