Dear Sisters,
The kids are back in school and fall is in the air! I love this
time of the year, when the air is cooler and the nights get crisper.
We just had wonderful talks given at the General Women’s
Conference. So many sweet messages given to us by such inspired women.
President Uchtdorf said “Heavenly Father is constantly raining blessings upon
us, but it is our fear, doubt, and sin that, like an umbrella, block these
blessings from reaching us.” Such a great message of our Heavenly
Father’s love for each of us. I especially loved the picture of the
umbrellas. I will always think of that picture when it rains. It
will be a reminder of his message of always making sure that we are open to the
blessings our Heavenly Father wants to give us. I loved the way he made me feel
uplifted, inspired and motivated. I hope that all of us women heard his
words and felt the love that I felt. That each of us are unique and
different, but the love our Savior has for us is the same. I loved Linda
K. Burton’s talk about preparing our homes. “As we prepare our homes to
be places where the Spirit is welcome, we will be prepared to feel more at home
when we enter the house of the Lord.” Sisters, lets all work together to
prepare ourselves and our homes so we will be better prepared to meet the
Savior.
I am grateful for these inspired messages given to us by those who are
called upon by our Heavenly Father. I know what they say are true, and if
we ponder and reflect on what we have heard, we will be able to implement these
into our lives and become closer to him.
We love you and pray for you often.
