Parenting and Teaching helps

Susan Hardy found a great site especially useful for parents, grandparents, and teachers. Thank you Susan. Some of you may be familiar with Richard and Linda Eyre, popular speakers and authors on many parenting and family topics.

The Eyres have written many parenting books over the years.  They are giving them away at the following site just to help parents to become better parents.  You can read all of them free online.

Our Divine Purpose

Who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom 

for such a time as this? 

Our Relief Society theme for this year is referenced from Esther 4:14 ; Mordecai's question to Queen Esther as she is preparing to go in unto the King. Just like Esther, we all have a purpose, a divine purpose here on this Earth. With this, I hope we can discover tools we can use to help us in realizing our divine potential.

The first tool I'd like to highlight is Helping in the Church. Sometimes we may feel there aren't many ways in our current situations, whether it be time constraints or self confidence constraints, that we can help further the Lord's work on the earth. As I was reading a past blog entry (thank you Susannah), I discovered an lds.org site I didn't know existed! I bet there are a lot of them I don't know about!
Introduce, Helping in the Vineyard website. Here's how it works

As Susannah noted, some of these projects are broken down into 5 minute increments. So gear up and try something new and maybe discover something new inside yourself.
