111 Days to the Cove

Week #9 - May 24 thru May 30, 2009


Read a patriarchal blessing of an ancestor. Read 2 Nephi 1-3 to see the blessings given by Lehi to his sons. Why are patriarchal blessings and father’s blessings important? Begin to today to prepare to receive your patriarchal blessing. If you have received your blessing, take time to read and pray about the promises given to you.

Take notice in all the beauty that surrounds us. Take time to appreciate the simple things that we tend to take for granted: the mountains, the blue sky, or even the sound of rain. Imagine what an adventure it must have been for the pioneers to explore their new surroundings. Go sit somewhere outside, somewhere quiet away from all distractions for 20 minutes and take notice of your surroundings; from the smallest blade of grass, to the wide expanse of the mountains or sky. Record you impressions either in writing, with a drawing, a photo or in some other way.

Have a parent or grandparent share a story about their childhood with you. Put flowers on the grave of an ancestor for Memorial Day. ( May 25)
