Becoming an 8 Cow Woman

"True Worth is not what others see, but who you truly are."
 
'Holy' Cow
Communicate with your Heavenly Father, Search and Study the Scriptures, Serve Others and your faith and testimony will be strengthened.
 
'Cash' Cow
It has been said that a rich man doesn’t own his things; rather, his things begin to own him.  Each item we accumulate stifles us and robs us of freedom because it requires so much of our time to tend.  We have to pay for it, keep track of it, protect it, clean it, store it, insure it, and worry about it… later we have to move it, hide it, apologize for it, and argue over it.. 
 
Paying financial obligations promptly is part of integrity and honesty.  A perfect example is paying tithing promptly to Him who does not come to check up each month.

'Mad' Cow
If at the moment you feel like your top is going to blow, turn your computer speaker on - close your eyes and take long, slow, deep breaths until the song has concluded.

The Cow 'Jumped over the moon'
Slow down, get organized, taking small steps having a little more patience each time. The more things we having going on at one time the more frustration presents its self.

Cow 'Tipping'
Let your hair down and have a little fun!


Graze a little and chew the cud, you deserve it!

Ward Mission Goal for September

Give a Book of Mormon to a non-member friend with your testimony inside.

"The Book of Mormon has been at the center of missionary work since the gospel was restored...We use it every day in missionary work. One fact about the Book of Mormon being the key to power in each part of missionary work is this: the Book of Mormon is a testament of Jesus Christ. The title page tells us that..the purpose of the book is to show what great things the Lord has done for His people, to help them know that the covenants the Lord has made with His people are still in force, and to convince all people that Jesus is the Christ." Henry B. Eyring

Ward Mission Goal for the Month of August

Love Our Neighbor As Ourselves

When asked to name  the greatest commandment, He [Jesus Christ] did not hesitate. 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind,' He said, 'This is the first and great commandment' (Matthew 22:37, 38). Coupled with the second great commandment - to love our neighbor as ourselves (see Matthew 22:39)-we have a compass that provides direction not only for our lives but also for the Lord's Church on both sides of the veil."

Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "The Love of God, "Ensign, Nov. 2009, 21
