New Beginnings

Last night, we had our Young Women's New Beginnings. Our theme was "Becoming the Girl of Your Dreams." All the girls came wearing their Pj's. We transformed the room into a dream land, with pillows and blankets. I just wanted to share this poem that I read to the girls.

PJ’S Party Poem

When you put your PJ’s on & climb into bed,

We want them to remind you of what is ahead.

They’re waiting and waiting, so at the end of day,

You’ll quickly put them on and then you’ll kneel to pray.

But as you pick them up, you’ll notice you’re not through,

Please pick up a pen to help with the writing you will do.

With your pen and journal, write about the day,

Remember all the blessings the Lord gave you today.

And now before you settle down, there’s one last thing to do.

It’s time to read the scriptures; they will be a guide for you.

Now that you are dressed for bed and wearing your PJ’s,

Look again and you will find the SPIRITUAL PJ’S.

PRAYERS, JOURNALS and SCRIPTURES to protect and cover you well,

The Lord will always be with you and the Holy Ghost will dwell.

His love will touch your spirit each night before you sleep,

And carry you the whole day through if these PJ’S you will keep.

I am so thankful that I heard this poem. I will never look at my pajamas as just a physical piece of clothing, but I will remember the spiritual side that goes along with them.
