Happy April! What a fantastic time of year as the blooms begin and the warmth of the sun helps us enjoy the outdoors more frequently. It's a great time to do "spring cleaning", getting rid of the old and in with the new. Why not refreshen our committments to the Lord as well? "Search the Scriptures Diligently" is our visiting teaching message this month.
Why search the scriptures? President Spencer W. Kimball said in 1979, "As you become more and more familiar with the truths of the scriptures, you will be more and more effective in keeping the second great commandment, to love your neighbor as yourself. Become scholars of the scriptures - not to put others down, but to lift them up! After all, who has any greater need to 'treasure up' the truths of the gospel (on which they may call in their moments of need) than do the women and mothers who do so much nurturing and teaching?"
How can I treasure the scriptures? In the November 1997 Ensign, Elder Thomas S. Monson said, "The holy scriptures adorn our bookshelves. Make certain they provide nourishment to our minds and guidance for our lives."
With love, Sister Ray
