VILDA MUMFORD LLOYD
In 1919, the tenth month of the year,
Our Heavenly Father held a daughter so dear.
He said “It’s your time now to live on the earth,
You’ll live there and learn there, and oh! How you’ll work!
Through trials and sorrow, through heartache and pain,
You’ll learn to walk when the wind blows and dance in the rain.
You’ll love and you’ll laugh as you travel through life,
You’ll be a sister, a mother, a friend, and a wife.
You’ll feed the hungry, who’ve come far and near,
Your songs to your loved ones will be forever revered.
You’ll travel the countries down many a road,
But your arms will grow weary as you’ve carried your load.
When life starts to slow you, and you fall to your knees,
You’ll find solace and comfort through prayers and memories.
When all’s said and done, there’ll be many who’ll attest,
Vilda, I loved her, she was the best."

Today's Thought
"Neither Satan nor any other power can weaken or destroy your growing character. Only you could do that through disobedience. That is why Satan is so intently focused on tempting you to make decisions that will undermine your character. Satan is an accomplished master at making devastating choices appear attractive, even reasonable. So be careful. At this critical time of life you will be faced with many choices. The decisions you will make will profoundly affect life now and for eternity. Make them wisely and prayerfully."
