Sunday Musings of the Spirit: September's Visiting Teaching Message

September's visiting teaching message can be found at this link. I particularly liked the quote from President Kimball:  ". . .what glorious consequences can flow. . .from small but deliberate deeds!"

Small, seemingly insignificant events comprise the daily ebb and flow of life, but taken in total, shape our characters.  We have a great opportunity to support each other through simple acts of kindness.  I thought about the growth of seeds, and decided to make a handout using a seed packet template.  I put the quote from President Kimball on the front, "planting instructions" on the back, and inside the packet, I put paper strips listing examples of small deeds of service. 




The paper strips will be placed completely inside the packet. 

I think I've figured out (with help from John) how to share the file with you.  Click here to be taken to the pdf file, which you should be able to print.  A few snips of the scissors and a bit of glue, and your seed packet should be ready. 

Thanks for those who have offered a smile or kind word when it was most needed or least expected.

Six Sentence Story: Twist

  An antique typewriter Each week, Denise at Girlie on the Edge blog posts a prompt word and invites bloggers to come up with a Six Sentence Story. It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
