Savannah's Primary Talk

Our theme in primary this month is: I am thankful to know that we are all children of God.

Who I Really Am: (Poem)
Some say I have my mother’s eyes. My smile comes from my dad. My freckles come from Grandpa, and all this makes me glad.

I share the curls in my hair with uncles whom I love. But the truth of who I really am comes from up above.

A child of God is who I am, a child of royal birth. My father up in Heaven sent me here to earth.
As I take this journey and try valiantly each day, I know He watches over me and listens when I pray.

So if the path gets thorny, and the way feels not so clear, I remember who I really am and that takes away each fear.

How do we know we are children of God? When we read the scriptures it helps to remind us
that we are children of God and that He loves us. We also sing songs in sacrament and primary that reminds us that we are children of God. Also in the scriptures it reminds us that we should be grateful or thankful to our Heavenly Father.

Joseph Smith recorded revelations from Heavenly Father in a special book called the Doctrine and Covenants. In Doctrine and Covenants 59:7 we read, "Thou shalt thank the Lord thy God in all things."

Did you know that being thankful is a commandment? One of the ways we can show our love for Heavenly Father is to thank Him for the blessings He has given us. We can thank Him for friends and family, our homes and our church. We can thank Him for our teachers, missionaries and the Prophet. We should also thank our Heavenly Father for our bodies, as they are special and we should treat them like temples. There are so many things we should thank Him for every day.

Some of the things I’m grateful for are my family, friends, school and church.

What are you thankful for? When you go home or in family home evening, talk with your family and make a list of the blessings Heavenly Father has given you.

Remember to thank Him for your blessings each time you pray. Work at being grateful. You will find that it will bless your life.
