Activity and Review Sheet for "Come, Follow Me" --1 Corinthians 8-13

Everyone raise their hand if you love word searches!   I keep hearing they're a favorite, so I make sure to throw one in a couple times a month.  There were even a few adults in my old ward that would pick these up when they saw the word search on it.  Sadly, I'm not very good at them, so I'm always last to find all the words in my family (and I'm the one who makes them....haha!).   



I love reading about charity.   I don't consider it a strength of mine yet, but I do feel like it's something I yearn to be better at and reading about it inspires me to do better.  I also love 1 Corinthians 10:13 and the feeling of hope I get when I read it. 

I hope you have a wonderful week.

Activity and Review Sheet for "Come, Follow Me" --1 Corinthians 1-7

This week is a big week for our family--we are heading to Utah in a couple of days to drop Emma off at BYU and send my parents off on a mission to Paris!  I'm trying really hard not to think too hard about coming home to one fewer person in our house. Emoji 

This week's Come, Follow Me reading was filled with beautiful reminders that our bodies are a temple.  I think it's all too easy to forget what a gift our bodies are and that the Lord has set an excellent precedent for how to care for such an important gift.   I am inspired to do better and hope to help my kids develop an appreciation for what a gift their bodies are.   Emoji




Hugs to you!   Have a wonderful week!

Activity Sheet for Kids--"Come, Follow Me" (Romans 7-16)

  This week's Come, Follow Me reading was finishing up Paul's epistles to the Romans.  There's a ton of good stuff in there and the hardest part was narrowing down what to include in this review sheet.      




I hope your families/classes are enjoying these activity pages and if they are I'd love to hear about it.  Right now it feels like I'm blogging them out to a big wide void. 

Have a wonderful week!

Come, Follow Me Activity Sheet for Kids (Romans 1-6)

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto
salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it
is written, The just shall live by faith." 
Romans 1:16-17
********************
I love these verses and the reminder they are to stand up and to not be afraid to "live by faith".   It's disheartening to see how loud the voices of the doubters have become in the world and I hope we can teach our children to embrace the peace and perspective that the gospel can bring us. 





Hope your families/classes enjoy this little review sheet!   😘

Activity Sheet for Kids--"Come, Follow Me" (Acts 22-28)

"And now I exhort you to be of good cheer..."  Acts 27:22

This week's "Come, Follow Me" reading is full of good meat to discuss.   For many years of my life I totally believed that if you only did what was right, your life would be blessed.   That is true, but not in the naive way I thought it was for so long.   Here was Paul who'd completely changed his life and dedicated it to sharing the gospel, and yet he still faced some really hard things.  Did God make the hard things disappear or not happen?  No, but he did lighten those burdens and give Paul the wisdom and the strength to face them.  It really is the story of my life.   The hard things happen, but in them we've found a beauty and depth to life that have helped us to become who we are.   Not that we'd ever want to repeat them or to wish them on anyone else, but now that they're woven into the fabric of who we are, I can look back on them with a sense gratitude. 





Hope your families/classes are enjoying these "Come, Follow Me" activity sheets!   I keep hearing that the word searches are a favorite, so I added one again this week.  :)
