My daughter is serving as a missionary for our church
in Brazil.
By nature she is a very laid back person,
but just like everyone,
things can be challenging at times.
However, she always has a positive attitude,
keeps her focus on the Savior,
the works she is doing
and what matters most.
At our church service to day,
these words from Russell M. Nelson were quoted
and it fit right into the Sunday School lesson I was going to teach next that day
on getting our gospel roots deep so we are ready to face any challenges in life.
(Philippians 4:7-8 & 13 * Colossians 2:6-7)
Perfect.
Love how Heavenly Father connects everything together
if you're paying attention.
At the close of that meeting we sang Called to Serve
which made me get a little misty,
thinking of her
and the good missionary she has become.
Not to mention that her 18 month service will be coming to a close in December,
so just a couple more months and she gets home!
What an adventure and a time of growth she has had!
You can read more about how we "can be happy under every circumstance. We can feel joy even while having a bad day, a bad week, even a bad year!" {here}
So this whole experience today inspired me to create a printable of the quote.
I used the free floral watercolor graphics
from the amazing Fox & Hazel.
Had a lot of fun using all her florals and foliage.
Thanks Torrie for sharing your talent as a free download!
I've been loving brush fonts lately.
And the font I used is a nice brush script called Richie Brusher.
I've been using it on our high school soccer team logos too.
What do you think of the font in color?
Now since Sister W is in Brazil,
I had to make a Portuguese version of the quote.
Fingers crossed, hoping it translated correctly.
If you speak Portuguese, let me know in comments. ;)
You can print your own copies

and

Happy Sunday, focus on the good!
