February is here, and it looks like a theme for 2016 Visiting Teaching messages has emerged—we will be studying the Proclamation on the Family. For February, the message specifically focuses on “Marriage is Ordained of God.” The quote I chose for my printable this month is the tail end of Sister Bonnie L. Oscarson’s quote…
January is here, and with it comes a new theme for visiting teaching messages. I have really, really enjoyed studying the roles and attributes of our Savior in the past two years. Coupled with teaching the new cornerstone course in Institute this year (Jesus Christ and the Everlasting Gospel), I have loved learning more about…
The Visiting Teaching message for December is Divine Attributes of Jesus Christ: Compassionate and Kind. When I saw it, I smiled. I wonder if they saved the very best for last? Because, to me, kindness and compassion are the ultimate Christlike attributes. As you are well aware, in the past month there has been much…
I LOVED General Conference last month. My husband was in Argentina conducting an orchestra there at the time and on Saturday morning it was really hard for me to gather the girls and get ourselves ready to watch. I almost didn’t do it. And then Saturday morning session happened. And I am SO GLAD that…
I’ve been so busy working on my 31 Days to a Happier Home series that I completely forgot to post the Visiting Teaching Printable for this month! Well, we still have 3/4 of the month left, so hopefully it isn’t too late. This month’s Visiting Teaching message is Divine Attributes of Jesus Christ: Filled With…
The Visiting Teaching message for September is “Divine Attributes of Jesus Christ: Powerful and Full of Glory.” When I first read the title I thought that the lesson would be something entirely different than it actually was. I figured we would be talking only about the power and glory of Christ himself. While the lesson…
This month’s visiting teaching message is: Divine Attributes of Jesus Christ—Meek and Humble. In a world where these two qualities are seen as some sort of a weakness, I really appreciated the quote selected in the lesson. Especially as women, we are told we have to be more bold and forceful and authoritative in order…
This month’s Visiting Teaching Message is The Divine Attributes of Jesus Christ: Forgiving and Merciful. I love this month’s message. I will admit that forgiveness is something that has always come fairly easily to me throughout my life. Though there have been one or two instances where it took me a while to get that…
The visiting teaching message for the month of June is Divine Attributes of Jesus Christ: Virtue. I think this is the first month that I haven’t been really surprised by the chosen attribute! Virtue is one that I would probably write in my own list of Christlike Attributes, anyway. I did love reading through the…
How on earth are we already in April? Surprising as it is, I’m loving it. We’re having warmer weather (in the 30s—nice and balmy!) and we’re hurtling towards the end of the school year. I’m getting excited for summer (is it too early to be excited for summer?) and I’m really excited to celebrate Easter…
The visiting teaching message for March is The Attributes of Jesus Christ: Long-suffering and Patient. Apropos of my recent shoulder surgery, this was a message that was timely for me. I really loved President Uchtdorf’s entire quote on patience, but just the one snippet really made me stop and think. “Patience is not simply enduring;…
This month’s Visiting Teaching message is “The Attributes of Jesus Christ: Without Sin.“ Already, my idea of striving each month to work on these specific attributes is foiled! I’m not going to be without sin, no matter how hard I try! But after reading the message and thinking about it extensively, it is something I…
