You may have noticed at the bottom of each song in the hymn book are a few scriptures the go along with the text of the hymn. If you are looking for a new way to brighten up your scripture study time, try working your way through the hymn book one song at a time. First, sing the hymn. Then look up each of the scriptures and ponder/discuss the doctrine associated with each one. You could do this with just the Christmas hymns next week if you do not want to make this a permanent change but want to focus in on the Savior in your family study time.

1. We have had lots of beautiful rain here and it really makes it feel more like winter! Yay!
2. I had a fire in the fireplace yesterday early evening and I was the only one home. It felt a bit indulgent and I loved it.
3. I think I am almost (so very close) done with the shopping. Need to buy a box of cereal for Patch--yes, I give a food item to each of my kids. A fab cheap gift idea.
4. The gourmet lemon cake has left the building. I am both sad and happy.
5. Had my eyebrows waxed yesterday.
Scripture of the Day: Isaiah 9:6
I had my eyebrows waxed once. It looked like I had no eyebrows afterwards. They were so blond. I had a perpetual surprised look. I had to dye the remaining eyebrows. Yep, dye my eyebrows. I will never have them waxed again. The rain has been wonderful. It sure feels like Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI love that idea! Do I have to sing the hymn, though? Might chase the spirit away . .
