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!

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

Happy May to Everyone!  Hope you are all doing well and enjoying Spring.  That is, if it is Spring where you live!  Here in Utah, we are finally getting some warm weather, but our state is in great danger of flooding with all the snow melt!  Yikes!

This month for the ministering message, I wanted to honor all women in honor of Mothers Day.  So therefore,  I chose President Nelson’s talk, “A Plea to My Sisters”

I am sure that many of you will remember this talk.  It was given in Oct 2015 Conference. Continue reading

Hey everyone!  Hope you are all doing well and enjoying a beautiful Spring.  Here in Utah, it is still winter with more snow in the forecast!!  Ugh!  But I am excited for all the water and we definitely need the moisture, so I guess I need to quit complaining!

This month for the ministering message, I have had a song playing over and over in my mind.  So, I decided that I needed to incorporate it into my message for this month. Continue reading
