I am without a title on this Sunday evening. I will simply report that there were some nice things about the day. Kaden and I went home teaching this morning to the Arnold family. They are wonderful. Isaiah demonstrated his skills with Rubix cubes, Ethan showed us his pizza eating stuffed animal, Sister Arnold shared a great experience she had and she was in the middle of recording it in her journal when we came by. It was a great visit. Home teaching is good.
Had Teacher Council Meetings today during the second and third hours of the block. I thought both went very well. This could quite possibly have been my last time teaching or leading the discussion in Teacher Council Meeting. That would be sad as this has been one of my favorite callings with the Teaching in the Saviors Way program. I know my time as Sunday school president is drawing down. I have some things hitting me right now that might make that eventual release easier to bear but until such time I will continue to serve, happily. We had some great conversations about teaching by the Spirit. We looked at the parable of the 10 virgins and examined parallels between it and our callings as teachers. There was a lot of great comments from both classes. In that discussion I shared some thoughts about how important it is that we add oil to our lamps, that we seek to do things in our lives that increase the oil in our lamps so that when we are called on we can draw from our lamps because they are full. We talked about treasuring up the word of God in our lives and how this is essential to preparing ourselves spiritually. It was a good meeting.
Grateful for all I am blessed with. Sometimes there are hard things to endure in this life. I am doing my best to keep up, and to stay positive.
