What Wilt Thou Have Me To Do

Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids

Week 29 | July 8 - July 14

While studying this week the words to this song kept coming to mind. “Our prophet has some words for you, and these are the words, be true be true. At work or at play, in darkness of light, be true be true and stand for the right.” (Children’s Songbook pg. 159) We must all stand for the right. The Lord is relying on us to listen to the promptings we receive from the Holy Ghost and share them with those around us, especially our families.

In your materials this week you have five images of five apostles that were witnesses of Christ in the book of Acts. On the back of each image is a summarized version of the story. This makes it easy to use as a teaching poster. Be sure to print the poster and text for the summarized story front to back when you are preparing your materials. Along with each picture is a simple hands on activity to complete. I recommend letting your children each have a turn holding the picture as you tell it. You can also look for videos to tell the story online.

The five images included tell about five people that stood for the right! One of them was even martyred. I believe many of the apostles eventually died for preaching of Christ. They gave their all in an effort to share the gospel to all the world.

Reading these stories this week with your family is a great way to teach that we are all part of moving the Lord’s work forward. We are all responsible for standing up and standing out. The coloring page in our lesson materials this week depicts a real life example of this perfectly! It is a great way to make real life connections with your children. I encourage you to ask them how they can stand for the right in their daily life?

Remember that after you read each story complete the simple activity provided for each. Two of the favorites at our house were repentance stick puppets and money bags! Take a look through your materials for all the goodies! Your kids are sure to enjoy them all!

One of the things we love to include each week are inspirational quotes from our prophets that discuss the topic we are learning about in the Come Follow Me manual. These two beautiful prints are in your lesson this week. I love to display mine in our home. Plus I found the perfect frame to use that allows me to easily switch prints each week.

The Good Better Best Challenge that was held last week was well received. Thank you for participating whether that was on Instagram or in your heart and mind. Read more about the challenge if you missed it and feel free to complete it and choose best in your life anytime.

As part of the challenge we are accepting donations to a primary in Honduras. I have been in communication with the primary president and will get to meet her family this month in real life to give her the donations. The primary president will use the funds to buy much needed items for the children in her branch. They are so poor and in great need. Any amount you can donate would be so gracious! Venmo it to @ComeFollowMe-FHE by end of day July 2nd.

Enjoy your lesson this week with your family!

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).
