Hey, I just wanted to post the RS newsletter that I got in an email in case you read this and didn't get it.
*Presidency Message*
Spring has arrived! As we look out our windows this month we might see the beautiful colors, buds & blooms that spark the newness of life for nature. As we soak up the sun’s rays with much appreciation for the warmth and brightness that it offers we might find our self grateful for the changing season & feel ready to put another winter behind us. As we get outdoors to welcome springtime we have great potential to find a fulfilling sense of joy and gratitude for our families. We can satisfy this potential by working together to clean up our yards as we rake, prune, and clean away the winter, or as we prepare our flower and vegetable gardens, or as we simply go on walks together. We might find ourselves giggling with our children or grandchildren at the playground, or playing an all-age family game of softball. I don't know about you but I find these times to be a fantastic opportunity to truly count my blessings and enjoy the time I have with the family I am with.
A fabulous talk from the October 2010 conference titled Of Things That Matter Most by Dieter F Uchtdorf states that one of our key relationships is with our families. Since “no other success can compensate for failure” here, we must place high priority on our families. We build deep and loving family relationships by doing simple things together, like family dinner and family home evening and by just having fun together. In family relationships love is really spelled t-i-m-e, time. Taking time for each other is the key for harmony at home. We talk with, rather than about, each other. We learn from each other, and we appreciate our differences as well as our commonalities. We establish a divine bond with each other as we approach God together through family prayer, gospel study, and Sunday worship.
I hope we can take some time this month to really build our family relationships, especially through spending time together. Take in the beauty that spring has to offer, soak up some sunlight, and maybe get a few things done while we are at it. Keep in mind, of all our earthly relationships; none are more important than the family.
Have a great month, we love you!
Angela, Marlene, Debbie, & Carrie
