Mini Lesson (7-19-13)

Just want to share a quick note this week.  I am preparing for Camp P@G (Papa and Grandma).  We will be having 20 grandchildren here for a week while my children and spouses go on a backpack trip.  I have been looking for good ideas for things we can do and i found a wonderful website.  If any of you are suffering from the "I am bored" problem, take a quick look and see if some of these ideas may help.  The site is:  dltk-kids.com  

Wednesday we are having a pioneer day.  We are making butter to serve on graham crackers, stick horses to have relay races with, quilt blocks glued on paper and hung together on a wall, and hotdogs and smores over the fire, followed by a "kid talent show". 

Hope you are having fun with your children.  The summer is flying by too fast!

Mini Lesson (7-11-13)

I am in Blackfoot, Idaho watching some of my grandchildren while my son and his wife are taking a few days off.  Sunday I was in their Fast and Testimony Meeting when a young boy got up to bear his testimony.  He must have been about 6 and looked so sharp in his white shirt and tie.  He stood up to the podium and confidently said, "I know that Heavenly Father likes me and I know that my mom and dad like me."  I was so impressed with his simple testimony. 

I wondered how many of our children FEEL their Heavenly Father's love for them and FEEL our love for them.  Elder Hales said that our children often get their feelings of how Heavenly Father feels about them from the way they think we feel about them.  As we deal with our little ones, we need to be sure that with all the correcting and directing that comes with parenting, they also FEEL that we love them and that their Heavenly Father loves them. 

Summer can be a great opportunity to spend a little more time with each of them individually and in mini-moments reaffirm how much they are loved.  Sometimes it can be as simple as smiling at them so they see we find joy in being with them. 

Have a great rest of the summer and treasure this precious time together.
