Tammy’s Family Home Evening Lesson

Opening song: I am a Child of God, hymn number 301

Opening prayer: by invitation

 “Your Heavenly Father loves you—each of you. That love never changes. It is not influenced by your appearance, by your possessions, or by the amount of money you have in your bank account. It is not changed by your talents and abilities.” —President Thomas S. Monson

“With the help of the scriptures, words of the prophets, and personal revelation, we gradually come to an awareness of our true nature and destiny. Once we grasp this reality, we can obtain the faith to move forward and overcome any obstacle standing in our way of fulfilling our foreordained destiny—including the obstacle of feelings of low self-worth.”  -- Elder Glenn L. Pace of the 70, January 2005

“You are young women [and young men] of great faith. You brought your faith with you when you came to the earth. Alma teaches us that in the premortal realms you exhibited “exceeding faith and good works.”  You fought with your faith and testimony to defend the plan that was presented by God. You knew the plan was good, and you knew that the Savior would do what He said He would do—because you knew Him! You stood with Him, and you were eager for your opportunity to come to earth. You knew what was going to be required of you. You knew it would be difficult, and yet you were confident not only that you could accomplish your divine mission but that you could make a difference. You are “choice spirits who were reserved to come forth in the fulness of times to take part in laying the foundations of the great latter-day work…”   -- Elaine S. Dalton, YW general president, April 2010 General Conference, “Remember Who You Are!”

“I have always loved the story of the son of King Louis XVI of France because he had an unshakable knowledge of his identity. As a young man, he was kidnapped by evil men who had dethroned his father, the king. These men knew that if they could destroy him morally, he would not be heir to the throne. For six months they subjected him to every vile thing life had to offer, and yet he never yielded under pressure. This puzzled his captors, and after doing everything they could think of, they asked him why he had such great moral strength. His reply was simple. He said, “I cannot do what you ask, for I was born to be a king.” 

“Like the king’s son, each of you has inherited a royal birthright. Each of you has a divine heritage. “You are literally the royal daughters [and sons] of our Father in Heaven.”   Each of you was born to be a queen [or king].” – Elaine S. Dalton, April 2010, “Remember Who You Are!”

“… look into the mirror of eternity. Remember who you are! See yourself as our Heavenly Father sees you. You are elect. You are of noble birth. Don’t compromise your divine inheritance. You were born to be a queen [or King].”—Elaine S. Dalton, April 2010, “Remember Who You Are!”

Closing prayer: by invitation

I Am of Infinite Worth (by Janice Kapp Perry)

All I need do is remember

If ever I wonder if I am of worth

Remember my Savior what He did for me

When He lived among men on this earth

Pain and unspeakable sorrow

He bore for my sins there in Gethsemane

Then He gave up His life as He hung on the cross

And He did it all for me

Chorus:

For I am of worth

Of infinite worth

My Savior, Redeemer loves me

Yes, I am of worth

Of infinite worth

I'll be all He wants me to be

I will praise Him

I will serve Him

I will grow in His love

And fulfill my divine destiny

Lovingly Jesus is watching

He knows I am worth all He suffered for me

Now I must fulfill my own mission in life

Ever following Him faithfully

Line upon line I am striving

Not seeking the honor or praise of mankind

I will reach for the joy of celestial reward

Till all that God offers is mine

Repeat chorus twice

For my Savior Redeemer loves me
