Doctrine and Covenants 88:62-63
And again, verily I say unto you, my friends, I leave these sayings with you to ponder in your hearts, with this commandment which I give unto you, that ye shall call upon me while I am near --Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you; seek me diligently and ye shall find me; ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

Royal Family - by Jewels Sharik

This poem was written by Sister Julee Sharik for the Bonneville 13th Ward Relief Society Birthday Celebration - Daughters of a King. We thought it appropriate to share here. You are welcome to have a copy for yourself or to share with others. Sister Sharik only ask that her name and the copyright symbol appear on every copy. Thank you!

ROYAL FAMILY

Stands the King alone, without a Queen?
No. Thou art thy Mother’s daughter
At the feet of two shining thrones were you prepared

To leave behind your royal robes
Fashioned of flowing silk, trailing laces and pearls
Taking up skirts and aprons of simple homespun
More suited to the stains made by honest sweat –

To set aside your satin slippers
Accustomed to whispering across streets of gold
Pulling on boots of a plain and sturdy sort
Cobbled for climbing steep and stony paths –

To exchange soft, white hands that never held a rose
Without first the thorns had been removed
For a calloused palm and blistered thumb,
Marks of honour won in the service of friends–

To trade banquets in a marbled palace
And tables swelled with plenty
For seasons of drought and times of want
Hungering and thirsting after higher things –
Stand you alone on this earth?
No. Thou art the sister of thy sisters
Though strangers in a foreign land
Each of us a princess still,
Recognizing on one another’s brow
Ornaments of grace,
Reminders from our Father, the King
Of who we are and from whence we came
Placed there by our Mother's hand

"King’s daughters were among thy honourable women
and upon Thy right hand did stand the Queen in gold"
Psalms 45:9

Free Plants!!!

Sister Gayle Neilson has some plants that she'll be getting rid of from in front of her railing. (They're going to be digging out that whole area soon). If anyone would like them, they are welcome to come dig them out. If they're not home, just help yourself.
Some of the plants they have in that area are:
Mums
A few spring flower bulbs
Clemantis (that is the huge vine that covers their railing. The actual base of the plant is on the North side of the railing). This is a really hardy plant, just 3 years ago Gayle cut it down to a little stump and it still keeps growing.
Lilly (in the South corner)
Rose bush that gets lots of small roses
Columbine
These are all plants that come up every year.

Jandy Barry is running a 5K on April 7th at 9 am. It's the Commit to Virtue 5K which starts on BYU campus. Everyone is invited to come and run it with her! The information from the website is as follows:

The purpose of the Commit to Virtue 5K is to unite people in the fight against pornography, a problem which is far more prevalent in today's society than many realize.

Lots of Info......

Hi Sisters!

Here's a quick thought for the week:

"Make your influence felt." — President George Albert Smith, p. 89 Daughters In My Kingdom.

We love you sisters and appreciate your willingness to share your gifts and talents the Lord has blessed you with to serve and lift one another over and over again. We have a few needs in our ward if anyone can help the information is below:

Shannon Wood is altering a wedding dress for someone and she is in need of a medium (or size 10-12ish) adjustable dressform to use. Hers is currently in Southern Utah. She has a stand, just not the dressform. If anyone is willing to let her borrow theirs for a few weeks she would be very grateful. You can contact Shannon at 801-824-6356.

Adrynne Chidister has boxes to pass along. If anyone needs them contact Adrynne at 801-725-5291.

Betty Roberts has a Dryer she is giving away to anyone who needs it. It’s an almond colored Kenmore and is about 23 years old. It works great and just had the heating element replaced with in this last year. If you are interested please contact Betty to make arrangements to pick it up. It will be available by Wednesday. 801-818-2036.

The Stake is looking for any wooden angels. Similar to the angel from Willowtree, or any angel statue.
They will be used for the Women's Conference as decorations on the tables for lunch. If you have one you are willing to lend to the Stake you will need to put your name on it and have them to Muffin Grayson by March 18th. They need 15-20 angels.
They also need about 10 plants that will also be used on the tables for decorations. So somewhat small ones. Those won't be needed until April 20th by 9pm. Muffin can come to your house and pick them up if I needed. Please contact Muffin if you are able to help. 801-691-4753.

Again thank you for all you add to our sisterhood! We love each one of you!!! And have a great week!!!

Love,
Bonneville 13th Ward Relief Society Presidency
