Thoughts on Life

This past Sunday during Sacrament meeting I was holding Beckam on my lap with him facing me.  He pushed the hair out of my face and then cupped my face in his hands and said softly, "You're perfect."
Melt my heart!  He's such a sweet boy!

Jillian’s 1^st talk – September 1, 2013

Because I am a child of God, I will serve God with all my heart, might, mind and strength. 

I can serve with my heart by showing love and kindness to others. 

I can serve with my mind by thinking of ways to help others. 

I can serve with my might and strength by working hard to help others. 

I know that if we serve with our whole selves, that God will bless us and we will be happy.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

When Mac gave his talk, he wanted to rewrite it in his handwriting and then he clipped it to a clipboard and took it to the primary pulpit with him.  I guess it was his way of looking official.

McCade’s Talk – September 7, 2013

We are taught that because we are children of God, we should serve Him with all our heart, might, mind and strength. There are many ways to do this, but here are a few that I have tried:

I serve with my heart by telling my family that I love them and by doing kind acts for those around me.

I serve with my mind by writing letters to my cousins and grandparents who live far away and by helping my brothers with their homework.

I serve with my might and strength by helping with chores around the house and working hard at the things my parents ask of me.

I have a testimony of service.  I know that when we serve with our whole selves that it makes Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ happy and that we will be blessed for it. I hope that we will all try to serve God with our heart, mind, might and strength.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
