Consider Yourself Called!

Consider yourself called:

Assist the most vulnerable and needy.

They are children of God.

Pray to discern what they are needing.

Use the gifts, you have been given.

Lift the hands that hang down.

Help them look to God in Heaven.

And, feel His love surround.

Elder Renlund spoke of the farmer, if you recall:

Since telling the story of Farmer Paavo and his wife in my 2025 general conference message, I have learned that there is a Lutheran Church in Saarijärvi, Finland, that has on the grounds a statue honoring Farmer Paavo and his wife. The inscription on the front says, Mutta Jumalalta kasvun toivoi (He hoped God would give growth). On the back of the statue it says, "Pane leipään puolet petäjäistä Veihän naapurimme touon halla" (Mix a half of bark in the bread, as the frost has nipped our neighbor’s cornfield).

 

As we continue to prepare for the Savior’s second coming, may we consider the lesson of the Savior’s parable of the sheep and goats is that we are to use the gifts we have been given—time, talents, and blessings—to serve Heavenly Father’s children, especially the most vulnerable and needy.
