Sunday Musings of the Spirit: February Visiting Teaching Message

February's visiting teaching message talks about how visiting teachers have an opportunity to develop friendships with the sisters they visit, and how friendship can be a real strength to all.


I decided to make little friendship baskets to give to the sisters I visit. 


I found the cute little Valentine graphic over at The Graphics Fairy, and then just added in the text:


I printed the image, then decoupaged it onto a little bucket.   At Walmart, I found a magnetic paper pad which had a space for a photo.  Instead of a photo, I placed a wallet-size card which listed the visiting teachers' names and contact information, and the church meeting schedule for the year.  I added a pencil and chocolates in the bucket, and tied a ribbon on the handle.
Thanks for friendship, and the friends we make through visiting teaching.

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:
