Parenthood Is a Sacred Duty

I am in a singles ward. Some of the women in the ward have children (either grown children or children who do not live with them). My visiting teachees do not have kids.  So I left a note that said, "The lesson this month is on parenting, which requires children, so . . . ."

Our Potential for Parenthood

Children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. (Psalms 127:3)

Anything fruity will do for a gift--fruit, juice, candy, gum, etc.

If We Do Not Doubt

"Be like the mothers of the stripling warriors."

I had to order these from Deseret Book and it wasn't cheap.  In retrospect, it's October, so I should've bought something mummy-related and put "Be like the mummies of the stripling warriors."

"Stay on the Path"

I got some dollar store kids' gloves and attached a note that read, "Take a child by the hand and lead him (or her, depending on the circumstances of the sister receiving the gift) to the Gospel."

A co-worker bought some notepads from me and could put, "Take note of your blessings and be grateful."

"Nurture the Rising Generation"Nurture the JUNIORS in your life!

(Junior Mints, Junior Caramels, or modify to use Sugar Babies.)
"Our rising generation is worthy of our best efforts to support and strengthen them in their journey to adulthood." –Elder Ronald A. Rasband

"They have been held back to come forth at this time, but now they need to be pushed forward to meet their rendezvous." –Elder Neil A. Maxwell

For October's gift, I went to the local dollar store and bought some children's toys (since it's October, I made sure there were some Halloween toys, too).
