Glen and I were Primary substitutes yesterday and were privy to the sharing time lesson that we would later discuss with our son Joseph. The scripture of the month is Galatians 5:13, and it says, “…by love serve one another.” We were taught to apply it in a very special way and Joseph gives a good example of this.
This morning, Glen got up with the kids and I found an empty dishwasher with a white heart sitting inside of it. Now, who did this, I can only suspect. (His name starts with a “J”). But, shhhh, don’t tell him that I know… The idea is this: the primary children were given little white hearts to take home, and they were encouraged to do an act of service in secret. After they complete their act of service, they were encouraged to leave a little white heart at the scene where the act of love takes place. The person who is served will find the little white heart and feel loved. That is what it’s all about.
I am sure we will cut out a few white hearts today and give them to our children as part of our Family Home Evening tonight. I encourage you to do the same and to feel the outpouring of love in your own homes.
