March 2024 Ministering Handouts

Where oh where did February go????  It just seemed to slip by in the blink of an eye and it is already time for the March ministering handouts! 

Easter is in March this year, so I knew that I wanted to do something with a quote on the Atonement of Jesus Christ.  Here is what I came up with…not one quote…but two!  Continue reading

Jan. 2024 Ministering Handouts

Well…hello new year! 

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas season, and you are now ready for a NEW YEAR!  I love new beginnings and new possibilities!  It seems like a great way to start out a new year!  In a world filled with despair and wickedness, with problems and pain, we should strive more than ever to have hope.

So, for my Jan. 2024 Ministering Handouts I wanted to bring out the value of hope!  This is going to be my word or emphasis for this year.  We all can strive to have greater hope!

Dec 2023 Ministering Handout

Happy Holidays everyone! 

Hope all is well and you are filled with the Christmas spirit! 

Our family is getting started with our annual Sinter Klaas Party the first weekend of December.  It is always a fun way to welcome in the Christmas season.  This tradition started after our oldest son came home from his mission to The Netherlands and we have been doing it ever since!  We have had to change up what we do to adjust for the ages of our grandchildren, but everyone seems to love it and we don’t have to compete with the other families for a date!!

Nov 2023 Ministering Handouts

Hey, everyone welcome to November!  I love this time of year when the weather is a little cooler and you can enjoy being outside…even if it’s to do fall cleanup in the yard!

A little tidbit about me, that you probably don’t know…we installed a greenhouse this last summer and I am learning all about planting and propagating and I am hoping to start a lot of my flowers from seed this winter!  I am not doing a vegetable garden, I am doing a cut flower garden.  I love it and I have a ton to learn!  That is why I enjoy being outdoors.

Anyhow, the message this month is about having gratitude in our circumstances.  Pretty sure that a lot of you remember this talk, given by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf...”Grateful in Any Circumstances”

June 2023 Ministering Handout

Hey Everyone!  Welcome to the June 2023 Ministering Handout!

I hope you are all doing well and are ready for summer!  I have been working like a crazy old lady out in my yard.  I am so excited, because I am getting a greenhouse!!  I am going to learn how to propagate, plant from seed, and re-grow all kinds of plants.  I am not trying to grow a big vegetable garden, but rather a cut flower garden!  It is so fun and I am learning so many new things.  I’ll show you pictures when it is all installed and ready to go.

So throughout this process I am learning about the importance of bees and butterflies and that is what lead me to the theme for this month!  So here’s the Buzzz…. Continue reading
