Our new Primary theme this year is wonderful: "I Know My Savior Lives". Just the thought of addressing this topic [in many different ways and aspects] this year humbles me. What a blessing to be able to teach this concept to a group of Primary children that already have hold of my heart. To share my testimony and insights with them will be a gift, and to help them grasp that concept and testimony will be even better.
I do know He lives, and I know that He loves each one of us, imperfect as we are. But what I really know is that He has a special place in His heart for the children. There are so many children who don't know Him and won't be taught about Him and that thought hurts my heart when I consider it. But it makes me so grateful for the chance I have been given to work on internalizing that concept even more deeply for myself, and the chance to help the children I love so dearly learn to take it into their own lives and hearts.
I'm excited about our new Primary year!!

Love it- I'm so glad that I still (for now anyway) get to play the piano in primary. I love the new song for this month. We have a new presidency and they'll be having jr and sr singing time and sharing time split- a wonderful thing, but since I teach Sunday School they'll need another pianist and I'll miss that connection, especially since this is the first year to have all 4 of my kiddos in primary and wah wah wah the last year too.
What a wonderful theme!! And I really really love this picture! In some ways I secretly wish that we were in your ward so Krew could go to primary with you. We have wonderful leaders here, but you are just such an amazing woman -- I'd love it if my kids could have someone like you in their lives!!
i'm so glad you love the print! that is my favorite picture ever!
I ADORE that picture! I am so happy you have it. Your little Primary kiddo's are so lucky to have you, you love them so much.
I am so happy that you are getting a new grand daughter soon! What a wonderful blessing. Hugs to you Jan!
You are a wonderful soul to be leading those children. They are blessed as much as you are. Love the picture, what a great gift!
What a beautiful picture! I'm excited about primary too!
