Ministering has always been a part of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus, as our perfect example, was a friend to all. He was inclusive and spent time to reach out specifically to individuals that needed love and care. He was a minster. He took good care of his friends and family. We can become more like him, as we learn how to minister as he did.

In the story of Alice and Wonderland, Alice comes to a fork in the road. She asks the Cheshire Cat, “Which way shall I go?” The cat asks her in return, “Where are you going?” Lost and wandering, Alice simply said, “I don’t know!” Listen to this wise council from Cheshire Cat, “If you don’t know where you are going, then it doesn’t matter which path you choose.”
Don’t wander through life like Alice. With a goal in mind, we are able to travel to the places where we want to go and achieve things that were never before possible. Think about where you want to be and who you want to be! Set goals that will take you there.

In life, we are all going to make mistakes. It is ok! Avoid beating yourself up and feeling bad about imperfections. When we are striving to keep the commandments and follow the guidance of the Holy Ghost, we can, however, avoid most sins and make Heavenly Father happy.
When faced with a job, chore, or trial, we can choose to be like Nephi. He was a man who would “Go and do.” He didn’t murmur or complain. Because he made a habit of being a man of action and faith his life was blessed with joy and prosperity. When we look at our wooden bows, we can remember to emulate the Nephi the Book of Mormon prophet.
Take a moment to use your powerful words to remind your family how much you love them. Point out their strengths and thank them for participating. Bear your testimony about how clean, positive, and uplifting language can invite the Holy Ghost into your life and make a positive impact for good!
