2013 Primary Program

     "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." (Cindy Maybon, “Who I Really Am,” Friend, Feb 2008, 7)
      This year in primary we have been learning that we are Children of Heavenly Father.  Knowing that we are children of God helps us understand that we are never alone.  As we strive to keep the commandments, always make good choices, and pray for help, we can become more like Him.  We know that Heavenly Father loves us that He has a plan for us so that we can be happy and return to live with Him someday.
