June 2014 Visiting Teaching Handout

I hope June is a beautiful spring month for you and that you find time to minister to others!

 May 2013 Ensign Magazine: "Your Sacred Duty to Minister" by David L. Beck 

Do you know what it means to minister?

As you love His children, Heavenly Father will guide you, and angels will assist you. You will be given power to bless lives and rescue souls. Jesus Christ is your example. He “came not to be ministered unto, but to minister.” Matthew 20:27-28

To minister means to love and care for others. It means to attend to their physical and spiritual needs. Put simply, it means to do what the Savior would do if He were here.

May 2014 Vising Teaching Handout

PRESIDENT DIETER F. UCHTDORF gave these remarks in April Conference at the Priesthood session.

I hope that each of you who listen to his talk or read his words will add your light to the whole world and be a witness in your own special way and be found "not sleeping" but awake with the love of God and Christ.

Visiting Teaching Handout- April 2014

The Divine Mission of Jesus Christ: Savior and Redeemer

During this Easter month I love to read the New Testament.  I am so grateful for ALL the gifts that Father in Heaven has given me. The greatest of these gifts is MY savior and redeemer, Jesus Christ!  I need the atonement everyday. My life is so much happier and meaningful with Christ in it!  

Here is the Bookmark for April  visiting teaching. 

Have a happy Easter and follow the links for art and music of Christ.

March 2014 Visiting Teaching Handout-The Light of the World

The Divine Mission of Jesus Christ: Light of the World

As we come to understand that Jesus Christ is the Light of the World, we will increase our faith in Him and become a light to others. Christ testified of His role as “the true light that lighteth every man [and woman] that cometh into the world” (D&C 93:2) and asked that we “hold up [His] light that it may shine unto the world” (3 Nephi 18:24). Our prophets have also testified of the Light of Christ. President Henry B. Eyring, First Counselor in the First Presidency, said: “Each time you choose to try to live more like the Savior, you will have your testimony strengthened. You will come in time to know for yourself that He is the Light of the World. . . . You will reflect to others the Light of Christ in your life.”  Elder Quentin L. Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said of our being a light to the world: “We need to protect our families and be at the forefront together with all people of goodwill in doing everything we can to preserve light, hope, and morality in our communities.”

The Divine Mission of Jesus Christ:Good Shepherd

Jesus Christ is our good shepherd, he loves us more than we can even comprehend.

At times we need his comfort in our lives. He will give us that comfort and peace!

Our loving shepherd will not leave us if we seek Him! 

As I hum a few bars of the hymn, "Dear to The Heart of The Shepherd," I am renewed and feel His peace.

I hope you enjoy this choir singing the hymn and be renewed too.

You may also print and use the Visiting Teaching bookmark.

January 2014 Visiting Teaching Bookmark

Happy New Year to you all!

I got a computer program for digital scrap booking.  Here is my first try with it.  I'm looking forward to creating bookmarks for Visiting Teaching each month. 

I believe the best way for you to print them is to go to my blog "Learn and Liken" click on the image. It should come up with the correct size for you to print. However; I'm not sure at this point, I will play around until I can give you something good to print and use. xoxo Pat





December Visiting Teaching Bookmark

The bookmark this month has a front and back.  I thought I would list the roles of Christ as found in the book "What Manner of Man" by Richard Eyre. I also thought the D&C scripture was very important in understanding the role of The Only Begotten. It is very powerful and I hope you ponder upon it.

Merry Christmas!
