Just One More

How much better would your life be if you did just one more of something really good? A few weeks ago, our Relief Society President challenged us to go to the Temple just ONE MORE TIME in 2009. Today, our Relief Society teacher challenged us to read just one more scripture each day.

What if everyone in the church took on the "one more" challenge and in addition to one more time to the temple each year or month and one more scripture a day, the did many things just a little more? Amazing things would happen.

  • Just one more call or visit to those you are assigned for visiting and home teaching
  • Just one more prayer to your Heavenly Father each day
  • Just one more moment of gratitude
  • Just one more act of charity or kindness
  • Just one more hour working on your lesson
  • Just one more dollar on your Fast Offerings or charitable donations
  • Just one more name found on your genealogy (and taken to the temple)
  • Just one more, "I love you".
  • Just one more, "I appreciate you"
Sometimes I think we are overwhelmed by all that we have to do in this life. What if we took the "one more" challenge and looked around at the things we do every day and tried to do them just a little better? For some of us, it will double our efforts and for some of us, it will just be a slight increase in all the work we are already doing. But, the collective effort would change the world.
