Tuesdays

Tuesdays are lady leaders' meeting days. Leaders' meetings (or "women's meetings," in Fairwood terminology) are my responsibility, and I enjoy coming up with things to share. Today I talked very briefly about time management, then segued into the importance of not wasting mental/emotional time, based on Aunt Sharon's recent article.

A few other favorite leaders' meeting topics: Mike and Debi Pearl's article on joy, praising God during difficult times, setting the atmosphere in your room, showing love through good manners. Those are the plain topics; the ones the girls remember better are those on subjects such as grasshopper spirits and Juggernaut cars and front hall girls and manna days and hoydens. Some repertoire I have. One of them asked me if I ever spoke at youth camps--and that was after I had spoken on Proverbs 7. How many youth camps do you know that would invite a speaker in to talk to girls on Proverbs 7?

Actually, the inspiration for that message came from Rick and Kathy Fulton, who did indeed speak to us at a girls' week on Proverbs 7 many years ago. I get too much credit for merely passing on what others have given me.

So thank you, others. Your legacy continues.
