This was one of those rare mornings when I actually found something during my scripture study to use in my daily life. I'm currently reading Preach My Gospel and I'm in the section about the commandments, specifically prayer. I read the scripture in 2 Nephi 31:9 about not performing anything unto the Lord unless we pray that He will consecrate our performance unto Him that it will be for the welfare of our souls. I thought that it would be a great scripture to share with the Primary children this afternoon at our program rehearsal. I went to grab my small triple to put it in my purse. When I flipped open the scriptures (my travel set), I found a card that read, "We love you Aunt Mona!" from Sarah, Sam, and Erin. What fun to remember my trip to TN and the experience of attending church with them in their ward. When I sat by Sam in Sacrament meeting, I couldn't help remembering when Shaun was just his size and I went to church with him in Tulsa. I went to Primary with Sarah and she went to RS with me. Erin very capably took on the Mom role since Jenny was home sick and encouraged Sara to go to Primary instead of RS, but Sarah can be very determined! Another quick memory from the trip - as we were coming out of Nana and Papa's neigborhood, we looked to the right to see a plethora of paper scattered along the side of the road. These sweet kids decided that we should pick it up and we all jumped out of the car to do a quick good deed!
I continue to be very excited about our upcoming reunion in July. I'm thinking it would be fun to have a holiday theme, since we rarely get to spend holidays together. Meals, games, stories, and activities could revolve around various holidays and culminate with our very exciting anniversary celebration. What do you think? Are you ready to claim a holiday and the accompanying meal and activity?
Have a great Friday. I love you guys!
Mona
