I love these nursery lessons. There's something about teaching the simplest, most basic truths of the Gospel that really resounds within my heart. I know that these principles are true!
Lesson 4:
Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ Love Me
Opening
Song:
I
Feel My Savior's
Love (Children's Songbook 74-75)
Lesson:
Many people love you. Use the family photo book to go through
and show all the people that love GB.
Show a picture of Heavenly Father and Jesus. Emphasize that they love
GB too.
Scripture Story:
Show the picture of Jesus blessing the children. Open the scriptures
and summarize the story of Jesus blessing each of the children,
because He loves them. [3 Nephi 17:11-12, 21-24 ..... I just read verses 11 and 21. He doesn't sit still much longer than that!]
Activity:
Beanbag game!
Sit together and toss the beanbag. Use the phrases “Heavenly Father
loves ___” and “Jesus loves ___”.
[This is also a great time to review previous concepts, such as "I know a child of God named ____!" Plus it makes the game a little longer, which GB loves (so did my sunbeams, for that matter).]
Conclusion:
End with brief testimonies.
Lately I have been more aware of how much my Father in Heaven loves me and wants me to succeed. I hope that I can continue to align my life so that I can always feel that love and support from Him. Holding Family Home Evening certainly helps, even if it is only five minutes long!
