Dear Brothers and Sisters,
This past year has been one of great trial for so many in our Stake as well as the nation and the world. In the midst of all that occurred, the living Prophet by inspiration reminded us of the healing power of "Gratitude". As a Stake Presidency, we have felt that same spirit of inspiration touch our hearts as we have considered our Stake Theme for 2021.
Here is the attachment that outlines the Prosper Texas Stake theme for 2021. In a word, the 2021 theme is
Gratitude
The scripture associated with this theme is Alma 34:38.
“That ye contend no more against the Holy Ghost, but that ye receive it, and take upon you the name of Christ; that ye humble yourselves even to the dust, and worship God, in whatsoever place ye may be in, in spirit and in truth; and that ye live in thanksgiving daily, for the many mercies and blessings which he doth bestow upon you.”
This theme will be reflected in Conferences including Youth Conference as well as talks from the Stake Presidency and High Council.
As you make your own individual and family goals and plans for 2021, we hope that you would consider "Gratitude" and allow the peace and healing associated with it to bless your lives.
May the Lord bless each of you in this coming year!

Sparks
It’s not uncommon for there to be a spark when you first plug in a cord. However, if it happens often, you may have a serious problem. If you also hear a popping sound with the spark when plugging into an outlet or circuit, you may have a loose wire. It’s imperative to have a pro come check for problems, as diagnosing this problem yourself could be very dangerous.
