Ladies Night! "Your Happily Ever After"
Tuesdays are dedicated to the Young Women of the church. We pray for you, love you, and know you are here to do a great work. Now, just clink on the link below to treat yourself to an incredible, romantic and hopeful talk...
"Your Happily Ever After by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Ensign, May 2010, 124-27
Today's Scripture:
"...you will 'mount up with wings as eagles; [you] shall run, and not be weary; and [you] shall walk, and not faint.' (Isaiah 40:31)”
Today's Quote:
Sisters, we love you. We pray for you. Be strong and of good courage. You are truly royal spirit daughters of Almighty God. You are princesses, destined to become queens. Your own wondrous story has already begun. Your “once upon a time” is now. ("Your Happily Ever After by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Ensign, May 2010, 124-27)

Obedience through "The Simple Things"
Thanks for joining us. Here are the details for today...remember the daily quote and scripture come from today's talk. Also, make sure you read to the bottom to get a free download of a song inspired by this talk.
Talk of the Day: Rex D. Pinegar, “The Simple Things,” Ensign, Nov 1994, 80
Intro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLXRBg-r63c
Talk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQj06IKDlUM
Ideas/Comments: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azOzlipjnsc
Daily Scripture: Out of small things proceedeth that which is great. D&C 64:33
Daily Quote: “The great sun is a mighty force in the universe, but we receive the blessings of his rays because they come to us as little beams, which, taken in the aggregate, fill the whole world with sunlight. The dark night is made pleasant by the glimmer of what seem to be little stars; and so the true Christian life is made up of little Christ-like acts performed this hour, this minute, in the home, in the quorum, in the organization, in the town, wherever our life and acts may be cast” (in Conference Report, Oct. 1914, pp. 87–88).
Here are some pictures of crafts we made for FHE while discussing the lessons in this talk:
"Starry Night": Ways to let our light shine!
"Concrete" Play-dough: Talked about how the right ingredients in the proper order can make wonders, just like doing the right things in the order God has asked us to can work miracles too.
Recipes for FHE Object Lesson:
Play-dough (There are TONS of recipes for this stuff online. I used this one, but if you've got one you like better, please comment and share it!)

Doing The Simple Things
GDCCGDCC
C C
Seems so simple:
G D
Start the day on my knees
C C
But then life rushes in and
G D
Sweetly distracts me
C D
To-do lists, Appointments
G D C
Or just having fun
C C
All take me away from what
D D
Really must be done
G D C D
My testimony isn’t only what I say it’s what I do
G D C D
Obedience through this test is what thou needs so I’ll stay true
C C D
And make it home to thee
D
Doing the simple things
GDCC
C C
I lose my patience
G D
And then wonder why
C C
Could it be because I
G D
Haven’t made the time
C D
To read thy words? I might have learned
G D C
Some gem to ease my pain
C C
For when I walk with thee
D D
Then I share thy strength
G D C D
My testimony isn’t only what I say it’s what I do
G D C D
Obedience through this test is what thou needs so I’ll stay true
G G C
And make it home to thee
D
Doing the simple things
GDCC
Em
Give me the vision
G
Give me the faith
Em
To never give up
G D
No never hesitate
Em C G D
From doing those simple things
Em C C D D
That will truly set me free
G D C D
My testimony isn’t only what I say it’s what I do
G D C D
Obedience through this test is what thou needs so I’ll stay true
C C D
And make it home to thee
G D C D
My testimony isn’t only what I say it’s what I do
G D C D
Obedience through this test is what thou needs so I’ll stay true
C C D
And make it home to thee
D
Doing the simple things
