I have had several people request that I keep trying to do my VT handouts, so here is my May 2018 Ministering Handout!
May is the start of warmer weather, so I decided to go with a Lemon/Lemonade theme. There is a talk by Elaine Cannon that I based this handout from.
You can find the entire talk here.
As you can see from the handout, the quote that I used, starts with this saying: “It is the matter of the lemon and the lemonade.”
This talk is about adversity and how we handle it.
Here is the message card:
For those that would like to print as a jpeg. Simply right click over the image and go to “save image as”. Then save in a folder and print from there.
Here is the blank card for those of you that would like to write your own message! This card could also be used for an invite, a note card, or a lesson handout.
As always, my printables are for personal use only. They are not to be sold!

2.May 2018 Minister Card-Blank
With the new ministering program, you may not necessarily give your sisters an in home visit with a lesson every month. But you could give them a handout with a message on it! Some sisters even mail the cards out if they live in a rural area.
I chose to put a bottle of lemonade with this handout, but some other ideas, might include lemon bars, lemon bath bombs, lemon hand lotion, lip gloss or lemon candies! You know the likes of each of your sisters, so do what you think fits them the best!
So this is my May 2018 Ministering Handout.
Remember it still is not the handout that is important…it is your sisters!!
Happy Visiting!
Images for the visiting teaching handouts are from“Just So Scrappy”. They are used with a CU license.

Doing my very best to minister for the last nearly 42 years while visiting teaching I have found a message to share that fits the circumstances of each sister a blessing to me and to them. I very much appreciate the talents you share and hope very much you will continue to do so for a very long time. Sending my love and thanks.

Love the message! Where did you find the lemonade? Can you tell us the brand? Thanks!
Rose, Thank you for taking the time to write your kind comment. I found the lemonade at Smith’s. The name on the bottle says: Taste of the Islands Calypso. I found it in the refrigerated section by all the other drinks. Hope this helps.
Thank you for continuing to inspire us. Your messages help us to find just the “Right” message for each of our sisters.
Pat, Thank you so much for taking the time to write your message. Yes, my hope is that my thought is just a springboard for you to find the right message for each of your sisters. Hope you have a wonderful day…Happy Ministering!

Dear Rita –
There’s just something about coming with something in hand when visiting (ministering) to those we’re assigned. Thank you so much for providing the “just right” object, be it food, flowers, or even knitted washcloths! Your gift for creativity is so much appreciated.
Marcia
Rita,
Thank you so VERY MUCH for continuing to help those of us who truly need your amazing ideas, creativity, and beautiful cards!! Many in our ward have been blessed by your selfless caring of others and the sharing of your many talents! Getting on your site is a highlight several times each month for me. THANK YOU!!
Norma B.
Thank you for these awesome handouts. My sisters I minister to love these and I was hoping that you were still going to share with all of us. Thanks again Rita!
Jill, You are welcome. I hope to be able to continue these handouts, for myself as well as for the blog! Happy Ministering!
My sisters also love getting handouts and these handouts are perfect
for sharing inspiration, and thoughts during the month when they just need a “pick me up” or reminder that someone is thinking of them.
Thank you for making it so easy.
Nana, thank you for taking the time to write you kind comment. I loved hearing from you and appreciate your sweet support! Happy Ministering!
