| This went on the front of a large white envelope. On the front of the
envelope we placed a picture of the Savior with these instructions. The envelope contained
the individual 14 letters. Each letter was sealed with a sticker. The only way we can really know another person is to walk in their
shoes: think what they think, learn what they know, and what they would say, do what
they would do. Christ said, "Be ye therefore perfect". We can only
accomplish this as we become like him
INSTRUCTIONS
In the morning: set aside enough time to open the envelope
for that day. Each day has a set of questions followed by a story, poem, or
scripture to help you walk with Christ. Read and PONDER what is written. Try to keep
what you read in mind throughout the day. Perhaps take it with you to reread.
At the end of the day: evaluate how you did, and write your thoughts and feelings in your
journal.
Day l - Faith - I am a daughter of a
Heavenly Father who loves me, and I will have faith in His eternal plan,
which centers in Jesus Christ, my Savior. |
Do I know that
my Heavenly Father loves me? How do I know this is true? Do I know that I am His
daughter? Do I know that I lived with Him before I came here? Because of His
love for me, He sent His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Walk Tall,
You’re a Daughter of God
Right now I have a prayer deep within my heart, A
prayer for each of you there is a special part that you remember who you are and He
who lives above. Please seek for Him and live His way: You’ll feel His
love. Walk tall, you’re a daughter, a child of God.
Be strong - please remember who you are. Try to
understand you’re part of His great plan. He’s closer than you know -
reach up, He’ll take your hand.
Long before the time you can remember, Our
Father held you in His arms so tender. Those loving arms released you as he sent
you down to earth. He said, My child, I love you. Don’t forget your great
worth. Walk tall, you’re a daughter, a child of God.
Be strong - please remember who you are. Try to
understand, you’re part of His great plan. He’s closer than you know
- reach up, He'll take your hand.
This life on earth we knew would not be easy.
At times we lose our way -His path we may not see. But please remember - always
please - that you are not alone. He’ll take your hand. He loves you! He will
guide you home. Walk tall, you’re a daughter, a child of God.
Be strong - please remember who you are. Try to
understand, you’re part of His great plan. He’s closer than you know -
reach up, He'll take your hand.

DAY 2 - Divine Nature - I
have inherited divine qualities which I will strive to develop. |
We are not
human beings having a spiritual experience.... We are spiritual beings having a human
experience.
When I think about the above statement how do I
feel? Do I believe that I can become like the Savior? What divine qualities do
I have that are like the Saviors?
I Am a Princess
DAY 3 -
Individual Worth - I am of infinite worth with my own divine mission which I will strive
to fulfill. |
Do I
understand what Christ did for me? Do I believe that I am important enough for Him

even when others might not see the beauty that is hidden inside?
The Son
DAY 4 - Knowledge - I will
continually seek opportunities for learning and growth. |

"What would Christ do?"
Dear Friend
DAY 5 - Choice and
Accountability - I will remain free by choosing good over evil
and will accept responsibility for my choices. |

about the Savior when I have a choice to make? Will my decisions cause the Savior to
suffer? How can I put myself in a position to have the atonement cover my sins?
The Room
DAY 6 - Good Works - I will
nurture others and build the kingdom through righteous service. |
Do I
look to the Savior as an example of how I should treat others? Am I too busy, hurried, and
involved with worldly matters that I neglect what is really important? Am I
making a difference in the live of those around me?
Making a
Difference

the moral courage to make my actions
consistent with my knowledge of right and wrong. |

you keep my commandments and endure to the end you shall have eternal life, which
gift is the greatest of all the gifts of God." D & C 14:7 |
Do I strive to
keep the commandments? Do I believe I can make it to the celestial kingdom? Do
I have the faith necessary to follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost? How can the
Holy Ghost help me endure to the end so that I may return and live with my Heavenly
Father and Jesus Christ?

"Be partakers of the divine nature,...giving all diligence, add to your faith

2 Peter 1:4-7 |
Do I love
Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ? Do I possess Christ-like qualities of patience,
brotherly kindness, and charity? What can I do to better develop those qualities
within myself? Am I willing to give up things of the world in order to receive His
good gifts?
The Pearls
Day 10 - Individual Worth -
"Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God." D & C 18:10 |
Do I see
myself and others as Heavenly Father sees us? Do my thoughts and actions affect my
attitude? Am I living my life so that those who know me but don’t know the Savior
will want to know Him? Will I be touched by the Master’s Hand as I listen to
General Conference?
The
Touch of the Master’s Hand
DAY 11- Knowledge - "Seek
learning even by study and also by faith." D & C 88: 118 |
Where does all
knowledge come from? Is it important to know the truth? How can the Holy Ghost help me to
know the truth? We searched the world over and could not find a story or poem that
would impart as much knowledge as you can gain from listening to the Prophet speak
today.
Listen to him today or read his words in the New Era
or Ensign.
Ponder on what he has to say.
Then ask yourself the questions again.
DAY 12 - Choice and
Accountability - "Choose you this day whom ye will serve... but as for me and
my house, we will serve the Lord." Joshua 24:15 |

manual?

for Truth and Righteousness
DDAY 13 - Good Works - "Therefore let your light so shine before this
people, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in
heaven." 3 Nephi 12:16 |
Do I put the
Savior first in my life? What am I doing to build up the Lord and His kingdom? How does
the Lord want me to serve? How do I really feel about the service I give others? Does
serving the Lord make me happy?
"His Hands"
DAY 14 - Integrity - "Till
I die I will not remove mine integrity from me." Job 27:5 |
During the
past 14 days did I show integrity by reading a letter each day? Have I developed a
greater love for my Savior and myself by honestly answering the daily questions?
Have I felt the love of my Heavenly Father and my Savior? If the Savior came today,
would I be worthy to kneel at his feet?
