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.

Ten Things of Thankful: Last Two Weeks

  Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park, as viewed from an overlook I apologize for not commenting on your blog posts this past week; John and I took a vacation to Yellowstone National Park, leaving behind our computers and, to a large extent, cell phone service. We escaped the outside world and just spent time in nature. Though we have friends near Yellowstone (who we love to visit) we made this trip just about us, so please forgive us if we were nearby and didn't stop by. The crowds were minimal (though we did mask up whenever we passed someone on the trails) and we spent our days hiking, taking photos, and watching geysers erupt. Today, we are back home and back to work, and, in the case of my computer, back to old shenanigans like not letting me import my photos. (I was able to add the above photo by using blogger on my phone, but that isn't my preferred method.) I want to write about Yellowstone and have photos I want to share, but will leave that for another...

Monday Mentions: Equate Crutches

Have you ever needed crutches? I hadn't, until a week ago.  I'm pretty sure I strained a muscle while running a half-marathon.  (That sounds kind of cool, doesn't it? I'm not actually that cool; the last time I strained a muscle it was from carrying too many shopping bags at once.) In any case, I found myself in need of some crutches. I sent my husband to the store to get some. Photo: A pair of crutches leans against a wall  Not that crutches are all that complex, but because I hadn't used any before, I wondered if I could figure out how to adjust them to fit me properly. I shouldn't have worried. John came home from Walmart with their generic store brand of crutches, complete with instructions. First, I needed to take out a long bolt that went through the hand grip. Then I needed to find my height range, push down two metal pieces, and slide the crutches until the little metal pieces came up in the hole near my height range. (Having two people for this...
