Best Day Ever. . .Another Eagle has Landed

Today was a great day. Our sacrament meeting consisted of mostly sing hymns with speakers introducing a song and their feelings about each song. The meeting was very uplifiting (I thought) and added to the spirit through music. We did that once before in our Lindon Third Ward. I liked that one too.

It was my Relief Society lesson today. It was on Missionary work. I had a lot of extra things and even wore a missionary tag, "Sister McIntire" which was Tana's from her mission. I had not seen it for a couple of years and was thinking how I wanted to wear it while I taught my lesson. I went to my closet and went to an old jewelry box on the shelf. I opened it, and lifted the top of it and found it under some jewelry piled at the bottom. I was so impressed by that and could not deny I had help to find it. I don't think I could have done that on my own. It made my day!

I presented the message and the sisters seems to love what was taught. I cannot take the credit. The opening prayer was very helpful too in that respect.

My closing remarks was to encourage the women to "feast upon the scriptures." I learned that just a snack of the scriptures is not enough. So many good things come of feasting and all the promptings of the Spirit that are derived from obedience to this principle. I have come to love the scriptures even more and thirst after them each morning and it has become the first thing I do each day. I love the influence in my day and hunger for that first off before I do anything. This is a habit that literally makes my day.

This evening Aaron, Aislyn and I went to K2s Eagle Scout Court of Honor. There was another young man who received his today also in the ward. Hank had a gentleman come with a live Golden Eagle for the program. It was incredible and inspiring. We all learned a lot about Eagles. They have a life partner and it was said they are good husbands and fathers and take care of them. Amazing analogy for the Eagle and some people. I hope K2 will remember and recognize the good things an Eagle does in his life to emulate 'the way of the Eagle.'



The presentation given about Eagles was very impressive. I want to do some research and share about Eagles. They have 7000 feathers and excellent eye sight which is 6xs that of humans and can see a rabbit five miles away. Interesting.
