I have no lesson plan to share with you, but think I will do a handout on being spiritually fed. I am thinking of a Mormonad that goes something like this, have you been spiritually fed today and has a picture of a cereal box and the Scriptures. I think I will attach the handout to a mini cereal box. I got this idea after reading this quote by our prophet.

"I think our people know a lot about the Word of Wisdom, they know a lot about paying their tithing, they know a lot about MIA, and they know a lot about seminary and they know a lot about the mechanics of our meetings. But I worry and am deeply concerned about whether they are being fed spiritually. That's my deepest concern." -- President Gordon B. Hinckley From priesthood leadership session, Corpus Christi Texas Regional Conference, Jan. 6, 1996.

I like this quote, We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we're spiritual beings having a human experience.

I might use these ones too :

Spiritual Vitamins A to Z

If there is righteousness in the heart,
there will be beauty in character,
there will be harmony in the home;
If there is harmony in the home,
there will be order in the nation;
if there is order in the nation,
there will be peace in the world.

I have asked the girls to bring a picture of their room and an object that represents something uplifting to them. We will follow the lesson and talk about the physical environment. There is a story about a young girl named Camille who admired a certain boy and wanted to date him. Looking at him from afar he appeared to be an ideal boy. A girls choice dance seemed a perfect time to get to know him better. She and all the girls in her group decided on clever ways to invite the boys. She made an invitation to be put aside his bed for him to find that night as he retired. She went to his home and explained her needs and asked for permission from his mother to leave the invitation in his room.

As she opened the door, she detected a faint odor of gym shoes. Her eyes widened as she got a complete look. His mother had warned her so she shouldn't have been surprised, but she was. Her room wasn't always ready for company either, she told herself, so she shouldn't judge. As she bent down by the bed to leave the invitation, she saw some magazines. She thought she was open minded, but these magazines made her do a double take. Emabrrased, she looked around to get her eyes off the magazines and noticed a couple of posters. They were not appropriate. She was confused and embarrased. In those brief minutes her admiration for him plummeted. She realized besides the mess he lived with, the things he kept close to him in his room were the things often on his mind. She knew she wouldn't be comfortable with him on a date. What could she do now ? All she could think off was to grab a piece of paper and jot a quick note about coming by to see him. She clutched her invitation and made a hasty retreat.

If someone, whose admiration you would like, came into your room, what impression would they leave with ?

We just introduced the theme Stand Ye in Holy Places on our New Beginnings last Wednesday and I will try and make a point out of our homes being holy places if we can invite the spirit of the Lord to dwell there.
