One wisely responded, "Is not the greatest need in all the world for every person to have a personal, ongoing, daily continuing relationship with Deity?" Having such a relationship can unchain the divinity within us, and nothing can make a greater difference in our lives as we come to know and understand our divine relationship with God and His Beloved Son, our Master. As Jesus said in the great Intercessory Prayer, "This is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent" (John 17:3)<br />(President James E. Faust)<br /><br />President Faust gives five beginning, essential measures that will greatly clear the channel for a daily flow of "living water" from the very source of the spring (see John 4:7-15).<br /><br /><em>First, a daily communion involving prayer.</em> A fervent, sincere prayer is a two-way communication that will do much to bring the Spirit flowing like healing water to help with the trials, hardships, aches, and pains we all face. What is the quality of our secret prayers? As we pray, we should think of our Heavenly Father as being close by; full of knowledge, understanding, love, and compassion; the essence of power; and having great expectations of each of us.<br /><br /><em>Second, a daily selfless service to another.</em> The followers of the divine Christ have to be weighed on the scales of what their actions are rather than on solemn professions of belief. The true measure is found in Matthew: “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these … , ye have done it unto me” (<a href="http://scriptures.lds.org/matt/25/40#40" onclick="newWindow('http://scriptures.lds.org/matt/25//40#40')" target="contentWindow" class="scriptureRef">Matt. 25:40</a>). A wise man observed, “The man who lives by himself and for himself is apt to be corrupted by the company he keeps” (Charles Henry Parkhurst, quoted in <em>The International Dictionary of Thoughts</em> [1969], 659).<br /><br /><em>Third, a daily striving for an increased obedience and perfection in our lives.</em> “What manner of men ought ye to be? Verily I say unto you, even as I am,” said the Savior (<a href="http://scriptures.lds.org/3_ne/27/27#27" onclick="newWindow('http://scriptures.lds.org/3_ne/27//27#27')" target="contentWindow" class="scriptureRef">3 Ne. 27:27</a>). Because of the perfect Atonement of Jesus, we may be made perfect (see <a href="http://scriptures.lds.org/dc/76/69#69" onclick="newWindow('http://scriptures.lds.org/dc/76//69#69')" target="contentWindow" class="scriptureRef">D&C 76:69</a>).<br /><br /><em>Fourth, a daily acknowledgment of His divinity.</em> To have a daily, personal relationship with the Master, we must be His disciples. “For how knoweth a man the master whom he has not served, and who is a stranger unto him, and is far from the thoughts and intents of his heart?” (<a href="http://scriptures.lds.org/mosiah/5/13#13" onclick="newWindow('http://scriptures.lds.org/mosiah/5//13#13')" target="contentWindow" class="scriptureRef">Mosiah 5:13</a>).<br /><br /><em>Fifth, a daily study of the scriptures.</em> President Spencer W. Kimball said: “I find that when I get casual in my relationships with divinity and when it seems that no divine ear is listening and no divine voice is speaking, that I am far, far away. If I immerse myself in the scriptures the distance narrows and the spirituality returns” (<em>The Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball,</em> ed. Edward L. Kimball [1982], 135).<br /><br />Sources used to plan this lesson:<br />- "That We Might Know Thee" James E.

This project has been an amazing experience for us, at least for me, as we've worked together, with the community, and with our families to make these big thick quilts for some unknown friend to use. <br />
<br />
I was thinking as we stacked up 18 90"x90" quilts about how beautiful so many of them are. I thought about the many hours so many of you gave to make them. Time given in spite of to do lists and personal concerns. I thought about our hands; pinning and sewing and cutting and stitching. Then I thought of my mom. One Christmas she pieced quilts for me and each of my siblings. She made them each special for us, colorful, soft, and unique. Coming up on 15 years later, they're still around, keeping us cozy. They're good quilts, they're warm. But I love mine because someone made it special for me. <br />
<br />
I imagined being the recipients of one of these quilts. It's one thing to be handed a scratchy brown standard issue quilt that will get the job done. Would you use it and be thankful for it, sure! But what if you were handed something soft and colorful and one of a kind? Something made special. Something made by a person with a heart and intentions, not an automated machine. For me, at least, something about a different quilt, a beautiful quilt like one of these would speak calm to something in me. I think the love stitched in it would help me feel peace in the middle of a mess. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">So what, exactly does 18 queen size and 3 baby quilts look like? All bagged up, like this:</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Shortly after the devastating earthquake in Haiti we wanted to find a way to contribute relief to the victims of disasters like this. As a presidency, we soon settled on the idea of making quilts and we asked for your help. The results have been phenomenal! Together, we found the time and the resources. We assembled, bound, and tied seventeen thick and cozy 90" x 90" quilts and two baby quilts.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Many hands make light work....<br />
<br />
We plan to deliver the results of this project to the bishops storehouse this Saturday. We're trying to round up the last few quilts that were distributed to be tied so if you have one, please contact Holly or myself. We'll do our best to get pictures up of the total finished project.....all stacked up it looks like a full size mattress!<br />
<br />
Again, as a presidency, we'd like to share our love and appreciation for each of you, <b><i>always</i></b>, and especially in working together in this effort. It's been a pleasure! We love you.<br />

To replace the postponed activities that were interrupted by this week's storm forecast we are going to take advantage of Winter Break by hosting a <b>Quilting Marathon Activity</b>:<br />
<br />
Help us assemble, sew, and maybe even get a jump on tying! The format is open house, so come and go as you please! <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>All day Wednesday, February 17th from 9 AM to 9 PM and again Thursday morning, 9 AM to noon.</b></span><br />
<br />
The Relief Society will be providing light refreshments and may organize take-out at mealtimes. Feel free to bring additional snacks to share!<br />
<br />
We invite you to bring any friends and/or family members who are interested :) We especially invite you to bring your daughters' participating in the Young Women or Faith in God programs! We will open up the Primary wing as a play area for little ones (supervision will not be provided but we will help arrange a rotation for sisters who want to quilt and bring their kids along).<br />
<br />
Still want to donate materials? We've collected enough fabric for about 20 quilts but are still working on getting batting and smaller supplies like white thread, safety pins, straight pins, needles and especially clamps. If you have these items to donate or lend please contact Jennie Wilde or Connie Harrop so we can maximize the use of cash donations elsewhere. Thank you!<br />
<br />

We invite every ward member (and friends!) to participate in this effort to provide some relief to the victims of such devastating events. Wanna be a part of it? Here's what you can do:<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>We need:</b><br />
<br />
<i>Donated</i>: fabric (90x90, preshrunk if necessary, no denim or corduroy please), batting (bonded polyester 1/2 inch thick), pins, thread, needles for tying, yarn, and your time!<br />
If you choose you may also make a cash donation to help purchase these items in bulk. To do so, please speak with Jennie Wilde or Connie Harrop.<br />
<br />
<i>Lent</i> to us: sewing machines, quilting frames and 2 1/2 inch or larger clamps, fabric scissors, tacks, (please label clearly so we can return them easily)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>When it's all coming together:</b><br />
<br />
We're looking to gather as many materials as we possibly can by <b>Sunday, February 7th</b> so we can get working. I know that's just a few days warning so of course we'll continue to take donations as they trickle in but would like to get things started as soon as possible :) Please bring whatever items you can donate or lend to the Relief Society room.<br />
<br />
<b>Wednesday, February 10th</b> we will gather at the church to assemble, pin and begin sewing at 7 PM. Those who can't make it Wednesday night would be invited to come help <b>Thursday, February 11 </b>at 10 AM<b>.</b> Any unbound quilts will be sent home with volunteers to finish.<br />
<br />
<b>Saturday, February 20th</b> we will have quilting frames set up and ready to go beginning at 10 AM. Additionally, there will be "tying parties" announced to be hosted in your neighborhood groups between February 16th and February 27th. Watch for those dates. We will leave a quilt up on frames on the stage at the church from the 20th until they are all done so if you happen to be at the building stop in and do a couple stitches!<br />
<br />
Even if you can't make it to any of these events we invite you to participate! Barbara Hogan is exploring the possibility of coordinating with a Randolph school to get a few done. You could also do one as a family, as a project with your spouse, with your book group, for a girls night in.....you can find simple instructions <a href="http://www.ldsphilanthropies.org/humanitarian-services/patterns/quilts.pdf">here</a><br />
<br />
As quilts are completed we will collect them in the Relief Society room. The first batch should be turned in by <b>Sunday, February 28th</b> in order to be shipped to Church Humanitarian Services (and forwarded to those locations most in need) on March 1st. <br />
<br />
