How a Poinsettia and a Succulent Helped Me Better Understand Ministering

By Jannalee Sandau

If there’s one dependable sign that it’s Christmas, it’s the sudden appearance of poinsettias in every display window and on every piece of Christmas decor. Our office here at LDS Living recently had some of these festive plants appear in the lobby of each floor of our building. However, after only a week of being placed there, when I came in on Monday after the weekend, I noticed that the poor plant on our floor was looking very . . . limp. I immediately thought, “Oh, they must have forgotten to water it over the weekend.” I immediately poured a bit of water into the dying plant, feeling good that I had helped save our living Christmas symbol.

By Jannalee Rosner with excerpts from Kimberly L. Bytheway's 'Traditions'

As I’ve grown up, I’ve noticed that more and more, my Sabbath activities involve a screen. Whether I’m reading scriptures on my iPad, watching Bible videos on my laptop, or FaceTiming with an old friend, many of the Sabbath activities I used to do as a child have become lost in a world of busy screens and technology. But, while skimming through Kimberly Bytheway’s book Traditions: Creating Memories to Draw Your Family Close, I was reminded of the peace that these simple Sunday traditions could bring—even without a screen.

In Memory of Kris Belcher: Your “One Holy Thing”

Just after midnight on Friday morning, Kris Belcher, a beloved Deseret Book author and Time Out for Women speaker passed away. Belcher lived her life inspiring others despite many health challenges, including cancer that led to her losing her sight. In the wake of Belcher’s passing, Emily Belle Freeman penned the following: “She is finally able to see . . . it was the text I received just after midnight. And just like that, she was gone . . . one of the noble and great ones. And I held her hand, and I thought of the wisdom she gave every one of us. And the love. Oh, she knew how to love . . . and there was peace. #intothelight.”
