How can you help even young children to feel that

How can you help even young children to feel that the Savior knows them, loves them and watches over them?

Try this fun frame activity which will not only give you an engaging Come, Follow Me activity, but will be a lasting reminder that the Lord is their Shepherd.

Did you know that Jesus Himself quoted from the book of Psalms more than any other part of the Old Testament?

In the psalms we find so many truths the Lord wants us to know.

One of the psalms that has stayed with me is Psalm 25. David seemed to write this psalm at some point where he was in need of direction from the Lord. We can see his heart and how he pled for direction, and he used the imagery of a path (or way) over and over again. “Shew me thy ways... teach me thy paths”. “Lead me in thy truth”.

Haven't we all felt this desperate need for God's guidance at some point in our lives?

The last half of this psalm teaches that if we want to truly be guided in the Lord’s ways, we have to be meek.

The word meek is often described as “gentle,” but that does not give a full understanding of what meekness is. The word “meek” comes from the Greek word “praus” which means “strength under control.” So meekness is gentle because it chooses to be, not because it is weak. For example, a meek horse is a horse with great strength but is willing to submit to its master. That horse then becomes incredibly valuable and useful. You can trust that horse in a journey or in a battle because it is meek. If it were strong but not meek, it is too dangerous to use.

I love these words on meekness by Elder Neal A. Maxwell:

"As the Lord communicates with the meek and submissive, fewer decibels are required, and more nuances are received. Even the most meek, like Moses, learn overwhelming things they “never had supposed.” But it is only the meek mind which can be so shown and so stretched—not those, as Isaiah wrote, who “are wise in their own eyes.”

Is meekness an easy trait for you to develop? Who do you know that inspires you to be meek?

This week we get study Psalm 23, The Lord is My Sh

This week we get study Psalm 23, The Lord is My Shepherd written by David. The imagery in this Psalm is so beautiful and even young children will be able to think about a little lamb needing to be kept safe by a loving shepherd.

One way you can help children to ponder and really spend time considering the comforting themes in this psalm is to do the watercolor activity. As you paint together, you could use some of the videos and questions on the table posters to think about what it means that we are led by a loving Shepherd.

Once you've created your masterpieces you could display them in your home or give them to someone as a gift. And if you're like me and don't feel like you're a natural artist, then just print off Heidi's original version of the watercolor and use that instead!

Have fun with it and if you do this activity, remember to tag us in your creations. We love to see how you make these activities your own!

"There are times in every person's life when he do

"There are times in every person's life when he does not feel like praying ... but Brigham Young said that at such a moment, a person should say to his knees, 'Knees, get down there.' Make them bend and remain there until you obtain the Spirit."

- H. Dean Garrett, February 1978 Ensign
