The Choice to Be Grateful*

"Thy cup runneth over with blessings.  May your heart be filled with gratitude during this season of thanksgiving."

Mom picked out the gift this month: fall-themed paper cups from the dollar store.

*I make these for my mother and her ward did not choose a Conference talk for this month.

Honoring Our Covenants

"Find strength and blessings in keeping temple covenants."

The recent temple dedication made me think of white handkerchiefs to represent the temple.

Special Needs and Service Rendered

"The key to visiting teaching is service."

I bought these keys at Michaels recently.

Taking Action in Time of Need

"Take note of the needs of those you visit teach."

Just a notebook or pen or something will work.  Wish back-to-school sales right now, not too hard to get.

Visiting Teaching - A Sacred Assignment

The bishop can't do everything.  If you'd give him a hand, you'd be oh-so-sweet.

Forget Me Not

Forget not to be patient with yourself.

Forget not the difference between a good sacrifice and a foolish sacrifice.

Forget not to be happy now.

Forget not the "why" of the gospel.

Forget not that the Lord loves you.

Love, Watch Over, and Strengthen

If you CARROT all about the sisters you visit teach, follow these guidelines:

• Pray daily for them.
• Seek inspiration to know them.
• Visit them regularly.
• Stay in frequent contact.
• Greet them at Church meetings.
• Help them when they are in need.
• Teach them the gospel.

"Daughters in My Kingdom"

"Your Heavenly Daddy is a king!"

"Guardians of the Hearth"

Any heart or Valentine's gift will work.  Just attach a tag that says something like "If you love your family, guard them and strengthen them."

"Watchcare and Ministering Through Visiting Teaching"

"Watch over those you visit teach!"
