Dear Sisters:
This week begins the summer season for most people. Whether you are a young mother of children, a grandmother or even a great-grandmother, summer is kind of a time to let everything go – schedules go out the window! It’s good to take time to relax, but there is one thing we must never relax on, and that’s our diligence to serve others and serve the Lord. President Thomas S. Monson said: “My dear sisters: Do not pray for tasks equal to your abilities, but pray for abilities equal to your tasks. Then the performance of your tasks will be no miracle, but you will be the miracle.” Let us all make a goal to become a “miracle” in our families and in the lives of those we serve. Be diligent in seeking for those tasks that will bring joy and peace to you and to those around you.
