My seventh Sunday -- 6th Relief Society Morning...
Sister Patricia Pinegar --
When we sing, seek the Spirit to witness that the words of the hymn are true!! When women in the fabric store want to see the true color of the cloth, they take it outside to the perfect light of the Sun -- like in "Our Savior's Love" (author of the hymn explained that background).
We are becoming a great global society, yet we must not forget individuals. When we pray, we need to include not just the children of the Church but of the world.. they are at great risk & are growing up amidst AWFUL circumstances -- child labor, pornography, babies born already addicted to drugs... children killing children.. children bearing children...
Video with children laughing, singing I am a Child of God.
I love children! They are delightful and a heritage of the Lord. Matthew 18:1-6 -- Not teaching children is an offense!
What will bless children most? When their parents accept and live the gospel.
3 easy things to help children:
1) Listen to children -- 3 Nephi 17 -- show love for children one by one! SMILE at them -- get down on your knees and look into their eyes. Compliment them! If you're ever discouraged, find a child!
2) Be an EXAMPLE! You will touch more lives and bless them on the mission field and especially in Motherhood by example. 1 Thessalonions 2:4-13 acting in a Godly manner -- 1 Timothy 4:12 -- do not despise youth!
3) UNDERSTAND and USE the AUXILIARIES -- our prophet is very concerned about retaining new converts -- leaders, members, stake & full-time missionaries work cooperatively in a balanced effort to help convert, retain, and activate our Heavenly Father's children. Explain to investigators about primary! Know the names of the children and inform the auxiliary presidents. The Purpose of Primary is to teach children the Gospel of Jesus Christ and help them know how to live it! CHRIST-CENTERED Primary!
Things to do if organizing a Primary:
1) Love the Children
2) Teach them to Pray
3) Listen to the Promptings of the Spirit
4) Share scriptures
5) Sing Primary Songs
6) Bear Testimony!!
