Dear Sisters
It is hard to believe that it is already November and that the time is going by so quickly. Thanksgiving is quickly approaching us, a time for reflections on this past year and a time to be grateful for everything in our lives, including trials and challenges that come to each of us as we continue on our life’s journey. As we try to deal with the struggles we face I challenge you to ponder the following questions as you look for answers to what you may be facing. Are everyday challenges such as times constraints, demands from work or home or feelings of inadequacy or fear holding you back from developing a relationship with Christ? By partaking of the sacrament we covenant that we are willing to take upon us the name of His Son and always remember Him especially in our daily walk and conversation. Think of some situations you encountered this past week. Were your actions consistent with the covenant you made? Do you have a written testimony of Jesus Christ and the tender mercies He attends you with that you may read in times of great stress? Next never underestimate the purpose of a trial. What are some things that have happened in your life from enduring one of life’s struggles? And finally, have we learned to recognize the voice of our Savior in our own lives. How and when has the Good Shepherd’s voice come to you?
I am grateful for the opportunity I have had to serve in this capacity. I have learned a lot and I love and respect all of you and appreciate all that you do on a daily basis to help each other, and to love each other.
May we reflect on our lives and be grateful for the relationship we have with our Savior. If we don't have a relationship with Him that we're satisfied with, let's start today to change that.
