Visiting Teaching Sisters are Wonderful

Sisters....thank you for your support with Visiting Teaching. This is a calling from the Lord to watch over each other, comfort one another, and serve one another. You do this as a visiting teacher. We had 80% in June. I am not a "percent" watcher but it tells me that 80% of our sisters had contact with others in the ward. Friendships will grow, love and support will continue. Thank you again! Sister Bailey

Reflections on a Consecrated Life

D. Todd Christopherson, talk from October 2010 General Conference

Life offers 2 precious gifts:

1. Time

2. Agency

We should consecrate these 2 precious gifts to the Lord.

One way to do that is through Purity....living a pure life. The Savior was the perfect example of a pure life. Be submissive, repent and put off the natural man.

Another way to consecrate our time and agency to the Lord is through Labor...a hard day's work. There is virtue in hard work, especially in the service of others. Along with work, find the time to enjoy leisure. Find good, wholesome activities that can bring you closer to your friends, family, and the Lord.

Respecting our Physical Bodies...this is one more way we can give of our time and agency. When we are healthy, we are in a better position to serve our fellow men, and in turn, serve our Lord and Savior. It's not just about NOT putting bad things in our bodies, but putting the GOOD things in our bodies as well.

As we work to live a pure life and consecrate our time and agency to our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ, our choices will be guided by the Savior.

Thank you to Rachel Besinger for sharing this wonderful lesson with us.

Happy Mother's Day

"for her price is far above rubies...she worketh willingly with her hands...with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard...she stretcheth out her hand to the poor...strength and honor are her clothing... she openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. she looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness" 

(proverbs 31:10)

 

Sister Susan b. tanner's talk, 'strengthening future mothers' says;

"a woman with a mother heart has a testimony of the restored gospel, and she teaches the principles of the gospel without equivocation. she is keeping sacred covenants made in holy temples.  her talents and skills are shared unselfishly. she gains as much education as her circumstances will allow, improving her mind and spirit with the desire to teach what she learns to the generations who follow her."

 

Let us remember all of the mother's in our lives today. We love you!
