Seek Truth Earnestly

I have decided to start being more proactive about what I view and do on the Sabbath day. It's been a very long time since I posted here at My Uni-Verse, and I feel that posting here weekly about something uplifting I viewed on the Sabbath will help me keep on track. Since we all know how I have been in the past, I am hoping this simple change will be do-able and not overwhelming.

That said, this week's post is about seeking truth. Today I viewed this Mormon Message:

I was very touched by this parable. I am a second grade teacher and often have situations arise where I do not have the full picture. I may be quick to judge a student based on past behavior instead of getting all the facts. I am aware of this fault and am working on it.

I was grateful to know that Heavenly Father is aware of this and would guide me today to something that would encourage me to be better! He is so kind and long-suffering towards me. I have created a print to share with you all that I am planning to print and display in my classroom as a reminder.

I hope you each take time to seek truth earnestly each day so that we can all become perfected and live with God again. Sending love and hugs to each and all!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi, friends, and Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends in the USA!  I've made a couple of digital prints that I have hanging in my home for this holiday, and I thought I would share them with you today.  Take a peek...

These use a variety of products from MHKDesigns, and I love the way they turned out!  The top print was made with papers from the Autumnal Accents paper pack and images from the Fabulously Fall digital stamp set.  The bottom print was made using papers from the same Autumnal Accents paper pack and images from the *SOON TO BE RELEASED* Fanciful Feathers digital stamp set.

Feel free to save and use these prints in your own decorating, should they appeal to you!  I'll be back another day with holiday prints, too!  Sending HUGS and wishing you all happy {digital} stamping!

The 3 Bears of Baptism: Poster/Handouts!

Hi, friends!  I was blessed to be able to attend the baptism of a very dear friend's son this morning, and lead the music.  We, of course, gave him our signature baptism gift--gummy bears with "The 3 Bears of Baptism" label I shared previously.  He loved the gift, and that spurred me to think about preparing some visuals with each "bear" should I ever be asked to give a talk or teach a lesson about this topic in primary.  So...I created some posters and handouts that go along with them!

I created three 8.5" x 11" posters and three 2.5" x 3.5" handouts, along with a combined handout that is 7.5" x 3.5".  Each background coordinates with a primary color, and I tried to match the "bear" to the color that stands for the same thing.  

So, red is for courage ("bear" the name of Christ)... 

...yellow is for service ("bear" one another's burdens)...

...and blue is for truth ("bear" your testimony).
