The Olive Tree

This song called The Olive Tree, here played by a guitarist, is about our call from Christ to do His work. (The lyrics are at the bottom of the message👇) I always felt encouraged to live with this message when I was part of the Young Women's program growing up. Sister Craig of the Young Women General Presidency said, “The Young Women sesquicentennial celebrates 150 years of growth in young women striving to improve themselves, develop their talents, serve others and strengthen their testimonies of Jesus Christ." I'd encourage everybody, young women and their parents especially, to read the introduction to this great celebration, being held by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Day Saints to celebrate the 150 years of the Young Women's program.

Love, Jillene Smith The Olive Tree Seminary Music: Book of Mormon There’s a call that comes to you and me. Strong and clear, to share His truth and light. It’s our time to serve and bring new life To a waiting, waiting world in need. Each new day we’ll nourish with his words. Those who seek direction from above. With our hands we’ll share the Master’s touch. With our hearts we’ll spread Hiss endless love. Until He comes and His work is done, We’ll labor and we’ll reap. What joy we’ll find this last time, As we serve the King of Kings. Heaven’s eyes smile down as we declare Words of peace so precious and so rare. As we reap with tenderness and care Truth and hope bless nations everywhere.
