Lupes Notes - Nov 13, 2011

 Good morning sisters. Yes, I am late. I got a new computer and had to wait until my program was installed.

THOUGHT: “We treasure the word of God not only by reading the word of the scriptures, but by studying them. We may be nourished more by pondering a few words, allowing the Holy Ghost to make them treasures to us, than by passing quickly and superficially over whole chapters of scripture.”

Henry B, Eyring

ANNOUCEMENTS:

1. It's our ward's time to clean the kitchen. We will be there on Tuesday at 10:30 am. If you have some time and can help us, you are welcomed. Thanks.

Lupes Notes - Nov 6, 2011

Well, this may be a little late, but here it is.

THOUGHT: “Relief Society sisters of all ages continue to uphold and defend truths that strengthen homes and families....Whenever a woman strengthens the faith of a child, she contributes to the strength of a family—now and in the future.” (Daughters in My Kingdom, p. 159)

The message for this Sabbath Day was presented by Lupe Lee.

I'm glad I only do this once a year. I do pray for the spirit to help me say the things that he feels I need to say.

One of the talks that I really enjoyed at General Conference was Elder Packard's talk and I think the reason that I enjoyed it was because, it confirmed to me that the subject matter of the message that I will give you today is what the Lord wants me to present. There is somebody, someone somewhere in this ward who needs to hear it, to give them comfort.

Ephesians 6:12 says “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principles, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

Boyd K Packard: “We know from the Scriptures that there was a war in heaven and that Lucifer rebelled and with his followers, “was cast out into the earth.” He is determined to disrupt our Heavenly Father's plan and seeks to control the minds and actions of all. This influence is spiritual and he is abroad in the land.”

November 2011 Preparedness - Water, Water, Water!

Preparedness for November:  Water!  Water!  Water!  It's that time of year again to do "2" things:

1. Empty all stored water more than a year old, clean the containers and refill them.
2. Add more filled containers to your supply.  (In fact this should be an on going habit.)

• Many containers can hold water for laundry and bathing and flushing purposes.  Be sure to mark them as such.  
• Remember to date each container as well. 
• Drinking water needs clean, special containers as recommended in the November supplement in the binders and on this Blog.
