Day 18 - Jacob 5

Spiritual Thought:

“Let us give the Lord equal time.  Let us give Him His due share of our thoughts, our time, our talents, and our attention.  I know that we are all very busy.  There are many demands for our attention, and our time is limited by a wide variety of constraints.  But as we learn to manage our time, let us be sure that we give the Lord His portion.”  (M. Russell Ballard)

Daily Focus Scripture to mark and ponder:

Jacob 5:72 "And it came to pass that the servants did go and labor with their mights; and the Lord of the vineyard labored also with them; and they did obey the commandments of the Lord of the vineyard in all things."
Daily Questions:
How am I doing as a servant of the Lord?  Do I labor diligently in the Lord's vineyard?  What can I do to become a better member missionary?

Food for Thought: 
Jacob 5 teaches us about the Allegory of the Olive Tree, which basically is talking about "Missionary Work."  Since this week our Boming theme is "Twins", I thought it would be fun to watch a few Latter Day "Twin" Missionaries receive their Mission Calls.
