What Lack I Yet?

Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids

Week 21 | May 13 - May 19

As you read and ponder Matthew 19-20, Mark 10 and Luke 18 this week prayerfully consider what thoughts you need to share with your children. Every family is different and because of the topic and focus this week I feel it especially important to consider the needs in your home.

This week you will need to purchase Oreo cookies for an object lesson. Simple goodness right here people! As a bonus they serve as a family home evening treat too! Win, win! In your materials I give you all the details for this activity.

Follow your summary sheet carefully for some great scriptures to read. I personally feel like the best resource for this week is The Family, A Proclamation to the World from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It is clearly an inspired document! You do have a copy in your materials for teaching and reading over with your children. This document is simply from the website sited and is not our material. We wanted to provide it to you as a teaching and learning tool for your study. In our home we are even highlighting parts that stand out to us!

There is a cute wedding coloring page provided this week. This really is for all ages. Try using different mediums like paints or colored pencils to make it engaging for your children to complete. Displaying their work during the week also encourages them to participate.

The Happy Family song is a great way to get in some movement while teaching an important principle. Use the clip art images provided, cut them out and laminate them. I love this Scotch Laminator and use it all the time. Tape a Popsicle stick to them and there you go!

If you need a hand out or just a simple way to get your children involved in the lesson, hand out these cards. Let each child take a turn reading the card they get aloud. If you teach primary send one home attached to a roll of Oreo cookies and you will have happy kids.

Each week I provide you with a full lesson plan for a main lesson during family home evening or Sunday study. At the bottom of your lesson plan are six boxes with other ideas. These are meant to be shorter activities that can be done each night during the week or added to your main lesson. I recommend you read them and try to use some of them this week to enrich your learning and study. One of the ideas in the bonus boxes this week is to teach about the plan of salvation using this poster as a tool. This will help children to understand why marriage between a man and woman is so important.

One more item before I let you go and start planning your lesson! In our home we use this wedding set from Little Ites. My kids have enjoyed playing with it all week! It has been a big hit! It is thick, durable, and cute as can be. Notice how the brides flowers come off and on. This set really has been a great hands on way for my kids to continue learning about the importance of marriage through daily play. Super affordable and I will be sharing a discount code on Instagram so keep your eyes peeled!

There are other materials not pictured here provided to all of those with a membership. When you get a membership you get access to every lesson that was created for Come Follow Me this year, 2019. Plus you get a free reading/lesson schedule when you sign up! This will help keep you on track because I know life as a parent is busy! If you grab a year membership we give you one month for FREE as a thank you!

This week was a memorable one for my family. I hope it is for your family too! Don’t get sick eating too many Oreo’s.

Much love,

Angie

“I Will Order All Things for Your Good”

Have you ever had a powerful spiritual experience and felt the joy of God’s love, only to feel down again when normal life resumes? Or an hour where your children were seemingly perfect and kind to one another, but the rest of the day was awful? This might have been how the early saints felt by the end of the year following the dedication of the Kirtland Temple. Life itself didn’t get easier with the temple’s completion. Financial troubles and increased persecution made enduring to the end difficult for many saints. Yet those who persevered were blessed not only with strength but also with direction on how they could be a blessing to God’s children even amidst their own trials. The Lord’s comforting words to them are extended to us today as we also can help others feel loved during our own struggles: “Let thy heart be of good cheer before my face… for I, the Lord, have a great work for thee to do” (D&C 112:4,6).

“It Is Thy House, a Place of Thy Holiness”

March 27, 1836, was a special date both on earth and in heaven. For the first time since 70 AD, a temple of God was available for men and women to worship in. Many saints who were present for the dedication saw angels celebrating the return of temple blessings to the world. The Lord Jesus Christ shared His own joy of the temple’s completion in Doctrine and Covenants 110:6-7, when he said, “let the hearts of all my people rejoice, who have, with their might, built this house to my name. For behold, I have accepted this house…”.

“The Order of the Son of God”

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is organized according to the Lord’s instructions, as detailed in this week’s reading in the Doctrine and Covenants. One of the ways we can apply the Lord’s guidance in these sections to our families is to establish councils within our homes. We should, with our children, “sit in council with them, and to teach them their duty, edifying one another” (D&C 107:85).
