TREASURE THIS

TREASURE

everyone's creativity

that expressed what was in my heart.

google images was overflowing with wonderful thoughts artistically designed

TREASURE

ideas on the numerous sites

of clever bloggers.

tempting... "TIE"rific,

but that was last years gift.

i TREASURE little hands

and the tender phrase of a child saying

"i love you this much"

with outstretched hands.

TREASURE

divine inspiration

(turns out, the primary presidency

planned to do the little hands project

for a FATHER's day gift

in sharing time.)

i made a very last minute switch to

 an idea that

"POPPED"

into my head

(prompted by "TIE"rific)

i had bags of POP secret POPcorn

extra envelopes

and scraps of paper.

inasmuch as i work with little hands and fingers

i pre-cut and pre-glued a few items:

 collar

ties in different patterned paper

(pre-glued to collar)

punched buttons

a pocket with the words

"the SECRET is out POPS,

you are the best DAD ever!"

a small handkerchief

(pre-glued to the pocket)

black belt

and the words

"happy FATHER'S day"

the children worked on their gifts

while i gave the lesson

on the 

TREASURES

received

(lesson 21)

when being BAPTISED and

  CONFIRMED a member

of the church of JESUS CHRIST of

latter-day saints.

they listened intently and shared in the discussion.

 TREASURE

taking the name of CHRIST upon me

receiving the gift of the holy ghost

being forgiven when i make mistakes.

TREASURE

visitors that joined us in primary.

TREASURE

the sweetest little class

TREASURE

that noah has a FATHER

that loves him

and honors the priesthood

TREASURE

the random gifts that show thought

"C's" candy

(get it "SEES" chocolates)

HIS WILL
"we should bring our wills into subjection to the will of the father,
and feel to say,
'what is the will our our father,
whom we are here in the world to serve?'"
