Song:
"Stand for the Right," Children's Songbook, p. 159.
Scripture:
Stand as a witness of God at all time and in all things, and in all places. (Mosiah 18:9)
Quote:
"If we are to hold up this Church as an ensign to the nations and a light to the world, we must take on more of the luster of the life of Christ individually and in our own personal circumstances. In standing for the right, we must not be fearful of the consequences. We must never be afraid."
(Gordon B. Hinckley, "An Ensign to the Nations, a Light to the World," Ensign, Nov. 2003, 82)
Lesson:
Show the family a reflector from a bike or other object (reflectors can be purchased at most hardware stores). Reflectors are so named because they "reflect" light from another source. Reflectors serve two purposes. First, they keep you from danger, such as going off the road or hitting another object. Second, they can mark the proper course to follow.
As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints we, in a sense, are reflectors. We reflect the love and truth of the gospel. As we stand for the right we will help keep others from danger. Our examples can help other people stay on the right path.
(Beth Lefgren and Jennifer Jackson, Building Blocks for Better Lessons, [Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1998], p. 68.)
Activity:
Divide the family into two equal teams, and have everyone surround a large mat or area marked off on the floor.
The "referee" calls, "Take the mat!" and both teams jump onto the mat. The object is for each team to try to push the other team members off the mat. Once a player is off the mat, he must wait out the rest of the round.
The referee blows a whistle (or calls "stop") and all pushing stops. Each team scores a point for each of its members still on the mat.
Liken this to the need to stand firm for the things we know are right.
(George and Jeane Chipman, Games! Games! Games!, [Salt Lake City: Shadow Mountain, 1983], p. 98.)
Refreshment:
Poppy Seed Cake
1 package (18 ounces) yellow cake mix
1 package (3 ¾ ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
4 eggs
1 cup sour cream
½ cup water
1 teaspoon almond flavoring
½ cup butter or margarine, melted
¼ cup poppy seeds
In large bowl of electric mixer, combine cake and pudding mixes, eggs, sour cream, water, almond flavoring, butter, and poppy seeds. Blend well on low speed, then beat at medium speed for 5 minutes. Pour batter into well-greased and lightly floured Bundt pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes, or until cake tests done. Remove from oven and cool in pan for 15 minutes. Turn out cake onto cake rack and cool completely. Sift a light dusting of powdered sugar over cake, if desired.
(Lion House Christmas, [Salt Lake City: Shadow Mountain, 2004], p. 98.)
