Gummy Bear is always excited for Family Home Evening. Have I said that before? Because he is. "It's time for Family Home Evening!" and he comes running over and sits down on the floor.
When I do these lessons, I use and abuse (gently) my husband. Guys are goofy. So I totally ask him to do big movements and reactions to help keep GB's attention.
Lesson 7: Jesus Christ Created
the World for Me
Opening
Song:
My Heavenly Father Loves Me
Lesson:
Genesis 1:1 reads, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the
earth.” Have GB repeat the scripture.
Show a picture of the earth. Heavenly Father had Jesus create the
earth and everything in it. Jesus created the sun, moon, and stars.
Show a picture of animals and plants. Point out the trees, leaves,
rocks, etc. and explain that Jesus made those. Point out the
different animals; explain that Jesus made the animals as well.
Jesus made all these things because He loves us and wants us to be
happy!
Songs:
The World Is So Big (Children's Songbook, page 235)
All Things Bright and Beautiful (Children's Songbook, page 231)
Conclusion:
Express gratitude for the beautiful world. End with brief
testimonies.
"Let's sing a song! What song should we sing?"
"Am Child God!"
"I was hoping you would say that!"
The other day when we were feeding the sister missionaries dinner, he stood on the chair and hollered "Am child God!" over and over again until I heard what he was saying. So I started singing it:
"I am a child of..."
"God."
"And he has sent me..."
"here"
"Has given me an..."
"earfee home"
"with parents kind and..."
"dear!"
"Lead me, guide me..."
"Walk side me"
"Help me find the..."
"way"
"Teach me all that I must..."
"do"
"To live with him some..."
"day. RAYY!" and he jumps off the chair.
SO CUTE. He tries to finish the sentence on pitch, too. I love this guy so much.
