Thoughts on Serving Our Families

By Emily and Annie Hope Jones

"Remembering to lay down our own life for others is something we try to keep before us. It can be easy for us to spend our free time on activities we like to do, but we try to remember to put aside those things and ask one of our siblings what they want to do; then we purpose to do it. We endeavor to help our father and mother as much as we can; reminding ourselves that true helping is not doing what we think they need help with, but rather having a humble, servant-like spirit, being ready in season and out of season to do whatever they ask of us. We have so much to learn and the Lord is ever faithful!

Being part of our family is an exciting adventure. There are many duties, responsibilities, challenges, joys, and blessings that come with being part of this household. We are grateful to the Lord for his plan for us as daughters in our father’s house. May the Lord bless each one of you as you follow His perfect will for you as a daughter in His kingdom."

Dried by Fire

Several days before the fire broke out, my grandmother placed fresh larkspur seeds on her retaining wall to dry. Upon returning home after the five day evacuation period, the seeds were found in the same location, dried completely and dusted with a layer of ash.
