I haved served in the Young Women organization with the Beehives for the last 2 years. A couple of weeks ago I got released. I told the 2nd counselor in the Bishopbrick that I didn't think it was a good idea. I cried a lot. I let him know how much I love these girls. But, he still thought it was my time to serve with the Sunbeams! (Logan's new primary class). But, I had already started on my Christmas gift for my Beeves so I decided to finish them. It was my last gift of love. And loved them I have. I'm going to miss all of them, but I have truely loved being in Young Womens with Savannah. She is my sunshine.
Coordinating Scripture Bags!
This is the poem that I wrote to go with them:
In the bag
“Mom”, I said, “I’m running late. My shoes I cannot find.
Would you help me look for them? You’re always nice and kind.”
”No sweat, my love, but sweat you did it almost made me gag.”
“Gym was yesterday, you see, Your shoes are IN THE BAG”
“Coach!” I cried. “I’m trying hard. But I’m afraid I need a rest.”
“I’ve practiced hard, I’m playing tough, but I’m afraid I’ll fail this test.”
“Focus, child, you’re looking great. Keep your eye on the finish line flag.”
“Don’t worry my girl your doing fine. This game is IN THE BAG”
“Father” I pleaded, “Are you there? I don’t know what to do.”
“Should I follow the crowd or stand alone? Please send me a little clue.”
“My child, I’m glad you came to me your heart is super sweet.”
“These situations are tough for you, your desires I will meet.”
“Look in the book and read the words of prophets long ago.”
“You may think they don’t understand, but trust me daughter, they know.”
“The book is a map to lead you home. I miss you very much.”
“I love our chats when you say your prayers, but your hand I long to touch.”
“So study the pages. We will help when your life has hit a snag.”
“The answer, my child, to eternal life, is waiting IN THE BAG.”
