Come Follow Me (Primary): February 20-26, Matthew 6-7

February 20 - 26 ♡ Matthew 6 - 7
"He Taught Them as One Having Authority"



Teach the children how to pray by having the kids take turns spinning the spinner from the Come Follow Me activity page. Discuss each part that the arrow lands on. I colored mine and laminated it.

. 

Just like there are different parts that make up a hamburger, there are different parts that make up a prayer (you can also use examples like an ice cream sundae, a taco, etc.): 

Have the children help put together the pieces of hamburger (prayer) in order.
  • First, we start to talk to Heavenly Father by saying something like: "Dear Heavenly Father" 
  • Next, we thank Him for our blessings - What are some things we can thank Him for?
  • Next, we can ask Him for things - What are things we can ask Him for?
    • Forgiveness, help, answers to questions, comfort, etc.
  • To finish talking to Heavenly Father, we end our prayer by saying: "In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen"

I printed these, then cut them out and laminated them for a handout. We attached mini gummy burgers to complete the handout! This is something the kids can take home and use to help them practice saying their prayers. You can find these handouts in my Etsy shop here!



I can build a strong foundation by following Jesus

Bring a rock and some sand to show while teaching the children about the wise man and the foolish man in Matthew 7:24-27. Having objects helps the kids visualize and focus on what is being taught! 


What is the difference between this rock and this sand?
  • Teach the differences between the wise man and the foolish man
How can we be wise, like the wiseman who built his house on the rock?
  • Follow Jesus's example and be like Him (read scriptures, go to church, pray, be kind to others, etc.)
I promoted the phrase "treat-yo-self" to treat-yo-self HEALTHY, because life can have a sweet, yet healthy balance! In this blog, I share some holistic approaches to healing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well being. I do my best to share insights from personal experience with health challenges, as well as share my knowledge from my educational background (registered nurse). Thanks for joining me in my journey!

Anxiety. Depression. Peace

My Experience With Anxiety I never would have considered myself an anxious person.  In fact, I would say that I coped with stress very well.  Like everyone else, I would get anxious every now and then when it came to things like taking an exam, applying for a new job, public speaking, etc.  It wasn't until August of 2019 that I had a panic attack (although I didn't know what it was at the time). I was in the kitchen at about 8pm prepping for my lunch to bring to school the following day. I was cutting an apple when I suddenly felt my heart leap out of my chest. It was the biggest heart palpitation I had ever felt.  Next, the vision in my left eye started to black out. I immediately felt the need to quickly sit on the ground in case I were to pass out. I shouted for my husband and told him something didn't feel right. I was very shaky, light-headed, and short of breath. We got some pillows and propped my feet up right there on the kitchen floor. I felt for a

Internet Misconceptions About Vaccines

Here Are the Real Facts How many times have you browsed the internet for answers involving your health? The truth is... most of us are guilty Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf, a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, said something relating the matter: "After a recent medical procedure, my very capable doctors explained what I needed to do to heal properly. But first I had to relearn something about myself I should have known for a long time: as a patient, I'm not very patient. Consequently I decided to expedite the healing process by undertaking my own Internet search. I suppose I expected to discover truth of which my doctors were unaware or had tried to keep from me. It took me a little while before I realized the irony of what I was doing. Of course, researching things for ourselves is not a bad idea. But I was disregarding truth I could rely on and instead found myself being drawn to the often-outlandish claims of Internet lore. S

My Experience With Postpartum Anxiety & Depression

"Do you think you'll get postpartum depression?", a lot of friends and family would ask me when I was pregnant. If you've read some of my other blog posts, you would see that I have struggled with severe anxiety in the past.  "I don't know, probably", was often my reply. Given my history with mood disorders, I assumed it could be likely I would experience some struggles postpartum. Little did I know at the time how hard and fast it would hit me.  Beginning in the first trimester, I experienced depression. Despite being quite open about my mental health, I remained mostly quiet about depression throughout my pregnancy. Since anxiety was more dominant for me in the past, lingering depression was a newer learning curve for me. I believe I kept quiet for a few different reasons: Depression caused a lack of motivation and energy, making it so I didn't want to do anything I normally enjoyed doing. I also didn't feel like talking to anyone. This was com
