VT: Managing Resources Wisely and Staying Out of Debt


The Visiting Teaching Message for this month is one very close to my heart. Debt is not only a temporal responsibility, it is a spiritual one as well. Think of those you know who are overwhelmed with debt... Most are frustrated, even depressed. Now think of a person you know who is living within, even below, their means. Their financial freedom allows them to better serve their families and others in need.

Debt can destroy our self-esteem and our happiness. It is hard to see the light over the horizon when your heart is weighed down and you can't seem to keep your head above water. It is even harder to remember you are a loved child of our Heavenly Father when you see your world crumbling around you and feel abandoned by the Lord. In times of great need, we must remember-the Lord knows our sorrow and is always waiting for us to turn to Him for assistance.

President Spencer W. Kimball promised, "If we live wisely and providently, we will be as safe as in the palm of His hand."

I made these cute purses for the sisters I visit teach and they loved them! I had to hand write on the coins because I visit teach in Spanish, but the one at the site is in English. All you have to do is cut and tape- no worries!

I have found some great visiting teaching blogs that would inspire even the most uninspired to go do their visiting teaching! One of them is http://visitingteachingblog.blogspot.com/
Get inspired! Go visit your sisters!
