FHE - The Priesthood can help me

The Priesthood can help me & Family Trees

We started off by singing 'Miss Polly' so we could talk about how Miss Polly called the Doctor because her dolly was sick, just like we often go to the Dr when we're sick. But we can also call upon the powers of heaven to give relief, comfort & healing. The girls have had many blessings themselves in their short lives, and been present for a lot as well so it's something they're fairly familiar with. As time goes on, they're even starting to ask for one from Daddy Joe if they're hurt or sick. I know it's the first thing I think to do when someone's not quite feeling right around here. And boy am I thankful to be able to do that. Even if relief isn't immediate, comfort definitely comes straight away when you know you've called on the power of heaven through the priesthood. I look forward to the day when my little Seffy can be schooled up by his Dad and teachers and join in.


The girls were chuffed with their little Drs bag with plasters to explain priesthood blessings, especially Faith cause she could read the captions on each one
Our night time reading a couple of weeks ago was how Abraham and Sarah had Isaac, he married Rebekah, they had Jacob and Esau and so on. The girls were quite good at remembering who's who, so we did this family tree to put it all out on paper

Ella's favourite part of this whole thing is Jacob and Esau.
She loves to say Esau sounds like a See Saw at the park

Then they each did their own family tree


Faith did so well sounding out everyone's names. Love what she got down in the end
