2008 Primary Theme Helps & Ideas

I think this year's theme is so memorable.

I Am a Child of God

When I say it, I automatically start reminiscing. If I had a dime for every time I sang that song, I'd be a rich girl. But this theme never gets old! The song even sounds new and fresh to me.

How will you help the children to internalize this message?

2008 Mutual Theme Ideas

From LDS.org -

"The First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve have approved the following as the Mutual theme for 2008: 'Be steadfast and immovable, always abounding in good works' (Mosiah 5:15).

"We encourage you to introduce the theme in December 2007. We also ask that you encourage Young Men and Young Women leaders to emphasize the theme in Mutual opening exercises and other youth activities during 2008."

Information will be sent each year from Church headquarters to priesthood leaders suggesting an annual theme for Mutual to be discussed with youth leaders. The theme may be used to provide focus for special Mutual activities such as dances, drama, speeches, sports, music, or service. Preparations for such activities should be made during Mutual. The theme may also be used as a basis for youth talks during Mutual opening exercises.

Blessing Basket

I was blessed yesterday because my teenager served me, simply by quietly making my bed.

The act was not uncommon, but the loving service was great because it came from a willing heart.

I think this excerpt from Sister Bonnie D. Parkin's talk in the 2007 April General Conference explains why the title of this post is Blessing Basket.

Let me share a sweet story with you. A family was going through a difficult time. It was hard for them not to focus on their challenges. The mother wrote: “Our world had completely crumpled, so we turned to Heavenly Father for guidance. Almost immediately we realized that we were surrounded by goodness and were being cheered on from every side. We began as a family to express our gratitude to each other as well as to the Lord daily. A close friend pointed out to me that our family’s ‘blessing basket’ was overflowing. From that conversation came a sort of game, which my children and I grew to love. Before family prayer each night we would talk about how our day had gone and then share with each other all of the many blessings that had been added to our ‘blessing basket.’ The more we expressed gratitude, the more there was to be grateful for. We felt the love of the Lord in a significant way as opportunities for growth presented themselves.”

What would a “blessing basket” add to your family?

Sister Parkin says, "Gratitude is a Spirit-filled principle. It opens our minds to a universe permeated with the richness of a living God."

How were you blessed today?

General Conference - October 2007

Do you have a conference tradition in your family? Which talk really touched you? What are your plans to implement the messages we heard?

Some of my favorites from from 2006 and 2007 were The Miracle of the Holy Bible and Tender Mercies.

How about you?
