Opening song: Children’s Songbook pg 198 “When We’re Helping”
Opening prayer: Jeremy
Scripture: Proverbs 14:23 “In all labor, there is profit”
Lesson: Discuss with the kids the meaning of labor and profit. Discuss what each member of the family’s different jobs are, pointing out that everyone’s jobs are different and therefore all are important, and that it’s important that everyone does their jobs.
We discussed some of the different things that would happen if each person didn’t do their jobs (ex: if Daddy didn’t go to work every day, we wouldn’t have a house, food, clothes, cars, toys…..) We talked about how it is not physically possible for Mommy to do everything, and that everyone must do their part.
“Let us realize that the privilege to work is a gift, that the power to work is a blessing, and that love of work is success” President David O McKay
We discussed with the kids what this quote means, that it’s a blessing to be able to work, and that not everyone has a body that is capable of working. So to have a healthy and strong body that is capable of using to work is truly something special and a real blessing.
