Sawyer's Talk

"Every morning we read scriptures around our kitchen table before we go to school. My father always asks me to get our scriptures, find where we're reading, and read a few verses, usually four. We take turns reading. Right now we're reading in the Book of Mormon. I like reading about Nephi's family because they had six boys, just like our family.
When we remember to read our scriptures, and have prayer, and learn something from them, we are feasting upon our scriptures. This doesn't mean we're eating them, but that the power of the scriptures fills our heart, just like eating food fills our tummy. I'm thankful for the scriptures."

I like your talk, Sawyer. I am sure that filling your heart with God's love before you head out to school brightens your day.

I'm starting to think the Schenewark's run the primary program in your ward. You guys talk a LOT! Great job Sawyer. :)

I was thinking the same thing as Becky. COME TO OUR WARD!!! :-)
This is such a great talk, I have loved the primary theme this year. It's cute to hear the kids testimonies of the scriptures.

What a great talk, Sawyer! So far we have only 3 boys ;)--but, we also read our scriptures every morning with the boys around the kitchen table...it helps to have the boys eating something while their mouths are busy chewing instead of talking ;)

Scripture is an important part of everyone's diet. :)
