You Don't Need
Astrology to Know Your Fortune
Live The Gospel
Begin by preparing
fortunes written on about 20 strips of paper. (I used New Era
Mormonad's for the ideas) and slip them into
Fortune Cookies.
Faith - Adversity Can Make You Strong
Faith - If You Want to See Eye to Eye - Try Using Your Ears
Divine Nature - Be All That You Can Be - Invest Yourself in Your Future
Divine Nature - Be Loyal to the Royal Within - You are a child of a
heavenly king, who loves you. Be true to your divine nature. (See
1 Pet. 2:9.)
Individual Worth - You Don’t Have to Be a Big Wheel. You don’t need
an important title or a high profile to make a big difference. The Lord has
assured us that “out of small things proceedeth that which is great” (D&C
64:33). So get involved. You’ll be amazed what one good turn can
do.
Individual Worth - Begin to Let Grow. Nurture your creative nature.
After all, you take after your Father and He was the ultimate Creator. (See
2 Ne. 2:14.)
Individual Worth - Labels Hide People. Behind each tag is a real
person with feelings, hopes, and dreams. So use the designer’s label—“child
of God.”
Knowledge - Uncover Buried Treasure. Worldly things can pile up
fast. Put scripture study on the top of your stack of things to do. (See
Matt. 6:33.)
Knowledge - You Can Take It With You
“Whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will
rise with us in the resurrection.
“And if a person gains more knowledge and intelligence in this life through
his diligence and obedience than another, he will have so much the advantage
in the world to come” (D&C
130:18–19)
Choice & Accountability - There Are Lots of Little Reasons to Be a Good
Example and Someday They’ll All Be Big
Choice & Accountability - Set Your Goals Now and High - Why Settle for
Almost? In horseshoes and in life you get some reward for coming close
to your goals. But if you really pitch in you can have it all. Why “horse”
around when there’s so much at stake?
Good Works - Get to Work - He can only guide your footsteps when you Move
Your Feet
Good Works - Leave Your Mark. Make things better than you found
them. (See Hymns, no. 223.)
Integrity - Gossip: Don't Pass It On
Integrity - Hold to the Iron Rod - Take Hold Before You Reach Out If you
want to bring someone else back to the straight and narrow, be sure you have
a firm grip on the iron rod yourself.
You could also mention that they have Patriarchal Blessings tell them
their future also.
