Letting Our Light Shine
In home evening we learned about how we can use our talents to bless others and help them feel God’s love. We read about Jesus teaching the people that they should share their light instead of hiding it. Then we talked about ways we could share our light through our talents.
Our mom suggested we play our instruments for people at a retirement home near us. At first, we were excited to play. But when we got to the retirement home, we felt nervous. We felt even more scared as we walked into the room where we were going to perform.
But when we started playing, we felt calm. The people tapped their feet and sang along to our songs. We had fun playing, and we felt happy seeing the smiles on their faces.
Since then, we’ve played at other retirement homes, and we want to keep doing it. Learning to play a musical instrument takes a lot of time and hard work, but we know Heavenly Father is proud of us for developing our talents and sharing them with others.
