SERVICE, THE LORD'S HANDS ON EARTH

Virtue of the Week: Service

Article of Faith: 9TH "We believe all that God as revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the kingdom of God."

Scripture of the Week: "Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as you have done it unto the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me." Matthew 25:40

Quote #1: "Along your pathway of life, you will observe that you are not the only traveler. There are others who need your help. There are feet to steady, hands to grasp, minds to encourage, hearts to inspire, and souls to save." Thomas S. Monson

Quote#2: "We are surrounded by those in need of our attention, our encouragement, our support, our comfort, our kindness~be they family members, friends, acquaintances, or strangers. We are the Lord's hands here upon the earth, with a mandate to serve and life up His children. He is dependant upon each of us!!" Thomas S. Monson

What a great week we had discussing the topic of service and discussing the ways that each of them can serve each other and those around them. We showed the children the movie "The Mailbox" and they each wrote a letter to someone who they know, who they thought could use a little attention and love. We talked about how even the simplest acts of service, like giving someone a smile can really lift another person's spirits. The children loved the quotes by President Monson!
