And this was how it began. My first meeting in months without distractions. She began with this statement that we are all the salt of the earth. (Matthew 5:13) And then asked why. Hmmm. And came the answer; salt adds flavor. It makes things better. We add flavor, We make things better. It was a stake auxillery training meeting and it was much needed. I can't say it was the most inspirational or spiritual charged meeting I have ever been to- but I needed it. Sometimes I forget, being a mother of 3 small children, and being in the primary room each week, what it feels like to be edified! I love my calling, and I learn more from those kids (and Heather and Teri) and from teaching the lessons, than I probably would sitting through Relief Society or Sunday school, but I needed an adult meeting. Ü So, I began feeling like I can make things better! Great start! I was some of the salt of this earth and I needed to share my aroma. There was so much info I can't even begin to make a dent. So, I will move onto the topic of the Primary breakout; "Simplicity- you can do it" ha! So many think primary is simple. Keeping it simple involves inspiration! I tend to rely more on copycatting than inspiration. I am all about utilizing others' already prefected sharing time ideas! It was a great meeting, I am never dissapointed with thier grand ideas and I always come home excited about teaching the kids something I have learned. Which is what it is all about! Making things 'taste' better!
I love working with you in primary you add spice to my life. Ü
ReplyDeleteThe meeting was a little rough for me. Maybe I just need to learn to put salt on the frustrating moments, too. You always have awesome sharing times...they always add a great flavor to primary!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have ever done an original sharing time but I am a good follower of original ideas. The kids don't know any different and really that is why we have great Primary websites to "borrow" from!
