There was a change in the visiting teaching arrangement. My previous visiting teacher said she had been assigned to other sisters in the ward. That was like 2 months ago and since then no sisters had came up to me and said they were now my visiting teachers. No calls, nothing. Silence. I actually emailed my Relief Society to tell her how unloved I felt.
This particular day, we didn't go to the church meetings because Mike didn't feel up to going, so I stayed home with him. I was telling Mike at about 5pm that it did not matter if I attended church or not because I didn't feel the sisters care.
I was terribly wrong. At 7 pm, someone knocked at our door. We hardly have people knocking at our door at night, unless appointments had been made. My new visiting teacher said she felt prompted to check on me, even though visiting-teaching is ideally done with another sister. She gave me the visiting teaching message for the month of July and a small plastic box containing a brownie.
I think there is a punctuation mark (comma) after the first word (love). That is how my sentence would be if I was writing the note. Heavenly Father has purposely had Sister Minter omitted that, without her realizing that! This message is what I needed! Look outside yourself. Visiting Teachers need to be remembered and loved as well!
I know my Heavenly Father loves me because this is only one of the many occasions that He manifested his love and knowledge of my feelings by sending his angels to me.
