Virtue of the Week: Self-Worth
Article of Faith: 7TH "We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healings, interpretation of tongues, and so forth."
Scripture of the Week: "The Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature....for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for the man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart." ~1 Samuel 16:7
Quote #1: "All that you need is deep within you waiting to unfold and reveal itself. All you have to do is BE STILL and take the time to seek for what is within and you will surely find it." ~Eileen Caddy
Quote#2: "Be Yourself!! If you water yourself down to please people or to fit in or to not offend anyone, you will lose the power, the passion, the FREEDOM and the joy of being uniquely you!! It's much easier to love yourself when you are being yourself." ~Dan Coopersmith
We spent the week reminding your children who they are, and "whose" they are! We talked about being true to what they know is right, and being true to themselves, and the "royal" that is in each and every one of them! We also reminded them how each of them are perfectly unique and wonderful, and sent here with certain talents, interests, and abilities, that are perfect for the unique and individual purpose for which they were sent to earth. We showed them examples of young people who have embraced who they are, who have embraced their strengths, and overcome their weaknesses and have gone on to do tremendous things to bless the lives of others, including a 19 year old boy who has gone to Honduras 11 times since he turned 14 and has helped with a boys orphanage there. He has individually raising approximately $150,000 for the orphanage. We also talked a lot about how looks/appearance does NOT determine who you are or your worth to God and the world!
