what would you do???

So i got this from the teacher in sunday school and REALLY enjoyed it. I for sure am making a goal to no longer read the GOSSIP magazines because what would jesus think?? maybe that is why my mom never let them in our house growing up ,they are useless junk that just make me wish i was skinnier anyways! :)

IF JESUS CAME TO YOUR HOUSE

If jesus came to your house to spend a day or two
if he came unexpectedly, I wonder what you'd do.
oh, i know you'd give your nicest room to such an honored guest, and all the food you'd
serve him would be the very best.
and you would keep assuring him you're glad to have him there
that serving him in your home is joy beyond compare
but---when you saw him coming would you meet him at the door with arms outstretched
in welcome to your heav'nly visitor?
or would you have to change your clothes before you let him in?
or hide some magazines and put the scriptures where they'd been?
or would you turn off the radio--and hope he hadnt heard?
and wish you hadnt uttered that last, loud, hasty word?
would you hide your worldly music and put some hymn books out?
could you let Jesus walk right in, or would you rush about?
and so i wonder --if the Savior spent a day or two with you,
would you go right on doing the things you always do.
would you sing the songs you always sing and always say?
would life for you continue as it does from day to day?
and at the dinner table would you say a word of grace?
would you sing the songs you always sing and read the books you read,
and let him know the things on which your mind and spirit feed?
would you take him with you everywhere you planned to go?
or would you, maybe, change your plans for just a day or so?
would you be glad to have him meet your very closest friends,
or would you hope they'd stay away until his visit ends?
would you be glad to have him stay forever on and on
or would you sigh with great relief when he at last was gone?
i might be interested to know the things that you would do,
if jesus came in person to spend some time with you.



so i have been in my new ward for a couple of months and REALLY enjoyed being in RS and sunday school because i am ALWAYS in primary. so of course i get a call yesterday to meet with the counselor and of COURSE he calls me and Matt to the primary:) LOL i could not believe i was going back! i am really excited but really bummed to not beable to hear all the wonderful messages anymore!
so me and matt decided we are really going to study each lesson together so we can get some more insights, i am excited to teach with the hubby too! i love team teaching together and we get the 11 year olds! WAHOO!
AND OF COURSE THEY ASK US TO SPEAK TOO:) i guess i got away with not talking for 3 years in our last ward! so i guess i knew what was coming.lol

oh my flippin goodness...I WANT to come hear you speak!!! When, this sunday? Where? What time?! I love that poem! That really has me thinking about certain things in my home. You will have so much fun teaching with Matt and teaching the 11 year olds is awesome! I always got to teach the young young kiddo's and wanted the opportunity to teach the older kids. You will be great! I'm serious...you let me know about Sunday...In fact I'm calling you now ;)
