Our Creative Friends
God’s Creations
From the big old sheep
To a baby chick’s peep,
They were made by God,
Even peas in a pea pod.
From the water near land
To the dry, hot beach sand,
The difference of dark and light,
Even the day and the night!
The making of water,
The sun that is hotter,
Even your face
Was made by God’s grace.
The petal of a flower
Was made by His power,
The squawk of a hen,
The lions in a den.
The rain, snow, and hail,
No, God didn’t fail.
He made the moon and sun.
Wouldn’t making the world be fun?

Celestial Family
A celestial family
Is what we aim to be,
But sometimes we can’t see
Who we need to be.
Then we turn to prayer
And all our hearts we share.
Together our burdens we bear
Until our celestial family is there.

I Feel the Spirit
I feel the Spirit when I am dipped into the water,
And I feel warm and happy right away.
I have waited for this since I was a toddler.
My Heavenly Father guides the way.
I felt peace in my heart when I received the Holy Ghost.
I like when I got the Holy Ghost the most.
