Wonderful Wednesday: The Silver Dollars
Good Morning Sisters!
This weeks message is two-fold, it encompasses both gratitude and service.
It is amazing how wonderful it feels when we are selfless and help out those in need. Giving of our time and efforts is perhaps the best thing we can ever do. Whether we are serving our children, husband, or those outside our family, the service we render to others will buoy us up no matter what we are facing at the time. Serving others can seem challenging when we have so much going on in our own lives, but we have been told time and time again that no matter what we are facing, if we serve others we will be blessed. We encourage each of you to find a way to do one act of service everyday. It does not need to be big and grand, something as simple as making lunch for your children or husband or sending a friendly text/email/phone call to a friend is all you need to help improve each and every day. :)
Each of us know how it feels to be the recipient of an act of service. The feeling of gratitude is overwhelming, and can even bring us to tears. But what if we do not recognize the service? How, then, are we suppose to feel gratitude? We would ask you sisters to be on the lookout for any act of service in your lives. The smallest gesture could make a great deal of difference to you. Perhaps the phone you received today was exactly what you needed or your child ran up and gave you hug for no reason. These things do us immeasurable good. We need to step back and recognize them in our lives. If we do, they will make an even more wondrous impact to each and every one of us.
President Hinckely told this wonderful story about a pair of boots and 2 silver dollars. I hope it touches your hearts as it did mine.

Wonderful Wednesday: What Matters Most
Good Morning Sisters!
On this Wednesday morning our thoughts and prayers are with Sister Rachel Seaver and her family. We hope that each of you will join us in fasting and prayer for the Seavers at this difficult time.
Today's message is from President Monson. With Valentine's Day only a few days away, our thoughts are focused on those who are most important in your life. We are writing and mailing Valentines, planning a date with our significant other, and making making Valentines cookies with our little ones. There are so many ways that we each choose to show those that we love how we feel during Valentine's. What an amazing difference it would make in each of our lives if we spent as much time and energy expressing our feelings of love all the year through.
President Monson said, "Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved."
We truly hope that each and every one of us can take this message to heart.

Wonderful Wednesday: Love One Another
Good Morning Sisters!
As it is now February, a new holiday is approaching! Valentines Day! The one and only holiday that simply focuses on love. Typically, we think of the love of one spouse to another, but during this season, we hope that each of you will focus on the love you have for those around you as well.
The Savior said that the two greatest commandments of all are to love thy God and to love thy neighbor. It may not always be easy to love those we come into contact with, but if we truly try to serve those around us, love will come. It is impossible to serve someone selflessly and not feel love for that person.
President Gordon B. Hinckley said, "Love is the only force that can erase the differences between people." No matter what differences we each have, if we strive to love each other those differences will disappear.
Loving your neighbor is crucial for many reasons. If they aren't members then showing kindness can spread the gospel, or simply help a friendhsip form when there otherwise wouldn't have been one. But loving those around you does more for your own spirit than it does for others. It is very difficult to feel down and discouraged about your own life when you are busy helping and creating bonds of love for those you interact with.
We encourage each and every one of you to make loving your neighbor, spouse, or any one else for that matter, a top priority in your life. The benefits will be astounding!
