Primary 91 - Humility

Children, 

Fasting and prayer were taught by Isaiah to remind us that we all depend on the Lord and as brothers and sisters, we should show others what the Lord would have us do by serving, feeding, and clothing them. When you know the pain of others, you then are eager to change the course of those in pain to courses of relief.

We need to know that it is vital to understand that we all have been given a crooked path and that by going down this part of life our rough edges will be made smooth, and our path will become straight where it was strait (crooked and dangerous). 

Lastly, we want you to know that we are admonished to gather Israel (chapter 62). We are encouraged to lift and lead and in so doing we will be better ourselves. Heavenly Father encouraged us to be part of the gathering and like drops of rain to Noah, our righteous and good deeds will flood the earth if we make the effort to participate in the gospel and not just be an observer. One day we hope that you will be active in your temple attendance and callings so that Israel can be gathered because you were there doing it.

Throughout our lives, people we put on our path need our help or guidance. We should prepare ourselves to see those people and take action. It’s through the spirit that we will recognize those opportunities and by taking action we receive the blessings that the Lord has waiting for them and us.

We love you guys. Have a great week.

Challenges 
1) Read Jeremiah 1-3; 7; 16-18; 20
2) How has fasting blessed you or your family? Record your thoughts and feelings.

Primary 133 - Preservation of your testimony and chastity

Image
source   Children, 1 Corinthians 6:13 13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. Paul spoke of fornication but this could also apply to things that pollute the soul. You would not eat a rotten apple. The foolish would say "But it is an apple". The same is said for sexual and spiritual purity. You cannot say you can get spiritual nourishment from corruptible things. Books, movies, and the like are no good if there is corruption in their content.  He further stated that our bodies are owned by another; a rental. We are owned by Christ if we care about our covenant of obedience. The especially for youth handbook encourages obedience, charity, chastity, repentance, and faith. When you become a teen you will be shown more on the topic but for now, strive for stern obedience. For moms and dads, he said that Mom owns Dad's chastity and vice

Primary 52 - Adam and Eve

Image
image God created our first parents. He created male and female; man and woman. When He created them they were equals. You see Heavenly Father did not create Eve from the head of Adam to be over him or by his foot to be below him. He didn't make Eve from the sternum or back to be behind or front of him. He, God, made Eve, Adam's wife, from his side, under his strong arm, near his heart. This is how we view marriage. The very symbol of marriage shows how much the need to find and be equal in marriage is. As saints, we strive to maintain the companionship that will make you a better person and at the same time will strive to encourage your spouse to be a better person.  Many years from now you will be dating or preparing for marriage. Brothers and sisters, look for a companion that will strengthen you and make you smile. Being in love is not just a feeling, it's a commitment. This commitment will require trust, respect, compassion, charity, repentence, and forgive

Primary 128 - Pricked or Cut

Image
I mage Children,  The Holy Ghost can touch us in one of two ways. Either we are pricked to do good or cut by the good word. The Greeks have a word for this. Hodos means "In the way". Is the Savior in the way of our success or are we doing things "In the Savior's way seeking His success?" The role of a disciple.  When the church has grown we have been given responsibilities callings and keys according to our ability and spiritual potential.  We should be eagerly engaged in the work we are called to do to lighten the load of those who are called to do more such as Bishops or Stake Presidents. Visiting the widowed and orphaned can be done by them but they ask many to be ministers to the many to bear the load. Don't just see the vision but catch it. When you catch the vision, it has changed you to do more and be actively engaged in the Lord's work.  Stephen and Phillip who were members of the seventy showed it in their actions.  Alma, Paul, Josep
