Because of this change, I was unable to make a handout for visiting teaching as I had in the past. Sunday morning as I woke up, it came to me.......make a poster on ministering to hang in front of the Relief Society room, just as I had done each month for a visiting teaching quote.
I already had the border/frame picked out that I wanted to use for my unused visiting teaching quote, so all I had to do was add the ministering quote.
Luckily from a few weeks ago I had solved a big problem that would not have allowed me to put text on a slanted frame. I have the Microsoft Office Word 2007 program loaded on my computer, where I create all my graphics with the help of Google Images. In the 2007 Word program, it does not allow you to tilt/rotate your text box. I spent a lot of time looking on the internet trying to find a way to tilt my text box but came up with very little. I knew there had to be a way so I just kept playing and playing until B.I.N.G.O....at last I figured it out. Right away I started tilting/rotating text boxes and writing down step-by-step instruction on how to do it so I wouldn't forget. It takes me quite a bit longer to get a tilted text box that you can easily do from a Word 2010, or higher program.
Sometimes, you need to do what you need to do and just figure out a way. On a side note, you can use WordArt, but I've never been able to get it to adjust to the fitted space I need it to go in. Ho-Hum...Sorry!
Below is the wording I chose to make my MINISTERING handout/poster.
Click on THIS VIDEO LINK, where President Russell M. Nelson, Sister Jean B. Bingham, Relief Society General President, and Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles gives some insight as to what ministering is all about.

Hi!
I really love your poster, the colors are beautiful and so is the message...especially the message. I love the new way we will minister to our sisters, definitely inspiration. Our RS president had actually been praying that we could somehow have a different name for VT! I will miss your VT handouts though, they were awesome!
Word can be challenging! You did a great job with the tilting! I have to write things down as well. When I worked I had so many things written down, little things to help me with my job, and I depended on them so much. The other day, I was cleaning out a closet and guess what I found? You guessed it, all of those directions I'd written down, and believe it or not, it was hard to throw them away... :0(
I love your new message and so will your ladies, it's beautiful!
Hugs and Love,
Barb
I am regular visitor, how are you everybody? This paragraph posted at this website is truly pleasant.
Wow, this is a lovely graphic quote. The colors are beautiful. You really do a very nice job on these. I love how you kept working at tilting it until you found a way. I have been using pic monkey for my graphics and it allows you to do quite a bit.
Thanks for sharing your talent and for sharing your thoughts on ministering. It will be a wonderful program for all.
Sending loving thoughts and hugs your way!
