Sharing Time 2014
January Presidency Message
I am taking thoughts from President Uchtdorf’s First Presidency
Message from the Ensign this month as well as from the January Sharing Time
Manual. President Uchtdorf reminds us of
an old proverb that says, “The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago…the
second best time is now.” He also says, “In
ancient Rome, Janus was the god of beginnings. He was often depicted with two
faces—one looking back on the past, the other looking forward to the future.
Some languages name the month of January after him because the beginning of the
year was a time for reflection as well as planning.”
We have a new start, a beginning, a fresh perspective with this
New Year. This reminds us of our Savior
and Redeemer who gives us new life through His atonement and our covenants with
Him (week 2 of Sharing Time this January).
Let us prayerfully consider how we can become better sons and daughters
of our Heavenly Father. Psalms 82:6
teaches, “I have said, Ye are gods: and
all of you are children of the most High.”
We teach this principal as outlined in our Sharing Time Manual for
January (week 2). It is through trying
to be like our Savior Jesus Christ and following his example, we become the
children our Father wants us to be (weeks 3-4 Sharing time this January).
SO….how can YOU be more like our Savior? This month’s First Presidency Message
encourages us to, “Consider setting some goals in two or three areas of your
life, such as physical health, spiritual health, and friendships, for example.
What successes would you like to have in these areas this year? As you
prayerfully think of some goals, make sure they are attainable but will require
you to grow.” We also encourage you to
set a few goals to become more like our Savior and thus the sons and daughters
of God our Heavenly Father wants us to be.
Your example will shine for the children in your Primary and they will
learn from your example.
Thank you for your service and willingness to serve in God’s
kingdom. Recently I read a sign that
said, “One day we will realize that the small things in life were really the
big things.” The small people we teach
and set examples for are the greatest in God’s kingdom. We pray that you and we will be worthy of the
great blessing the Lord has given us and the responsibilities He has given us in
serving them in His kingdom.

Words of Councel from President Rolayne Hanson
President Hanson has asked the Primary leaders and Presidencies consider the following directions as they serve in their wards:
- Your input is INVALUABLE in your ward councils
- Presidencies, try to sit in front of the Primary Room as a presidency during Primary meeting. The First Presidency models this during conferences. We should follow their example. We believe you will see blessings in reverence as you follow this council.
- Pray for people who have no one else to pray for them this month and especially this Christmas season.
