Primary Time: November Sharing Time Themeby Miriam Caldwell | More from this Blogger 07 Nov 2006 10:44 PM The theme for November sharing time is "Magnificent Promises." This is a wonderful theme to have the month of November, because it focuses a great deal on gratitude. The theme focuses on the promises of eternal families and the chance that we have to live with our Heavenly Father again, because of the Atonement of Christ. You may want to share scriptural accounts of promises that the Lord made to his people, and how they were fulfilled as they were righteous. The theme talks specifically about the promises made to Lehi and Nephi about the Promised Land. The Jaredites were given a similar promise as well. In "The Friend" or on the website you can find a gratitude box that you can make in conjunction with the theme. You will write down things that you are thankful for and ways that you can show your gratitude for those things. This is a great way to have your children to begin to do service. One of the other things you may want to stress with your children is that it is important to be righteous so that we can receive the magnificent promises that Heavenly Father has made for us. If we do make a mistake, we can repent with the help of the Atonement, but it is important to be as good as we can. You may want to use this opportunity to review the plan of salvation with your children. The song for the month is "For Health and Strength" p 21 in "The Children's Songbook." This is a short song about gratitude that can be sung in a round. It is an easy song to teach your children, and you may want to sing it on Thanksgiving. It is a good song to teach to your younger children, because it is easy to master and can help to increase their confidence.
