A Hymn Montage

My mom sent this to me in an email.  It made me laugh right out loud.  I don't know who to give credit to for creating it, but it's entertaining and true!  I hope you enjoy it!


As Latter-day Saint women, we are practically obsessed with anxiously engaging ourselves in good causes. Maybe it's subliminal. Glancing through the hymnal last Sunday I noted that as sisters in Zion, we who are called to serve are all enlisted to go marching, marching forward because the world has need of willing men to all press on scattering sunshine. We wonder if we have done any good in the world today because we have been given much and want to do what is right, keep the commandments, press forward with the Saints, choose the right, and put our shoulders to the wheel going where He wants us to go. However, as the morning breaks high on the mountain top, truth reflects upon our senses, and while we still believe that sweet is the work, we also realize that we have work enough to do ere the sun goes down. And thus we ask Thee ere we part, where can we turn for peace?

Amen

We always do a hymn together in the mornings after scriptures and before prayer and it's a fight to see who picks it out right? Well I usually keep quiet and let the kids choose but I finally picked out "This Wintery Day Descending to a Close" (37) and it has got to be the WORST hymn ever written :) By the time we were done the whole family was laughing so hard it was hardly spiritual :) Fun though.
