“ASK YOURSELF”

Is Visiting Teaching simply a chore to get done?
Do we follow the Savior’s example of loving everyone?
Are excuses heard in your ward, ever?
Do we do visiting teaching as a sacred endeavor?

Were your lessons prepared with special care
In hopes that wisdom and love would be shared?
Were the scriptures studied diligently each day
So teaching was inspired in the Lord’s way?

Let’s make our calls early, so there will be time
To listen and teach in a manner sublime.
Let’s try to give service to meet sisters’ needs,
Even, baking and cleaning and other good deeds.

Greeting one another with hugs and smiles,
Will help each other endure sore trials.
Love for the Savior grows daily as all were taught,
And sweet were the changes in lives that were wrought.

Blessings for each sister were sought with prayer
That all in the ward would feel the Spirit there.
Sisters were strengthened and families, too
As they testified that the gospel is true.
