It’s another start to a new month! The time is perfect to set a date and time with our visiting teaching sisters to visit with them! Sister Julie B. Beck has this to say about visiting teaching in her General Relief Society Address “Relief Society: A Sacred Work”:
“Because we follow the example and teachings of Jesus Christ, we value [visiting teaching as a] sacred assignment to love, know, serve, understand, teach and minister in His behalf. This is one duty we have in the Church where we are certain to have the help of the Lord if we ask for it. This is one responsibility that is certain to increase our faith and personal righteousness and strengthen our own homes and families as we become partners with the Lord. A sister in the Church has no other responsibility outside her family that has the potential to do as much good as does visiting teaching…
“Visiting teaching becomes the Lord’s work when our focus is on people rather than percentages…Faithfully serving as a visiting teacher is evidence of our discipleship.”
How true these words are. We are so grateful for the diligence from all to strive to visit the sisters in the ward regularly. It really is the Lord’s work and we have so much potential to bless lives at our fingertips!
