January Visiting Teaching Message

This weekend I was reading in Daughters in My Kingdom. I want to share one part:

The Apostle Paul wrote of women who, both in Church positions and of their own volition, served the Saints. His description of a righteous widow identified characteristics of many women in the early Church:

“Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints’ feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.”

Paul also wrote of the influence of wise, experienced older women. He counseled Titus to encourage older women to serve and teach young women about their eternal roles as wives and mothers, “that they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children.”

This is describing Visiting Teaching during ancient times in the primitive church. Visiting Teaching is not a new concept, it is doing our duty to Christ as his disciples. Let's keep in mind that as we serve those in our stewardship this month, that we are being valiant disciples of Jesus Christ in the work of salvation.
