The Gift of Life

This topic is sensitive to me. We struggled with fertility and were blessed with our one little girl. I know that God intended for us to love everyone and to help everyone have a chance at life. I know that the family was created for good and that children aren't an "inconvenience". I love my child and am grateful for the opportunity to be a mother.

Topic: Defending the sanctity of life (27)

Scripture:

"We affirm the sanctity of life and of its importance in God’s eternal plan."

Lesson:

Why are we hear on Earth? Sing "I lived in heaven a long time ago". Talk about the plan of salvation and how Heavenly Father sent us here to learn and to grow. If you take another persons life, you take away their chance to learn and to grow.

Object lesson, give everyone a bowl of ice cream. Take someones away. Ask them if it was fair to take their ice cream? Heavenly father gave everyone a life, just like the ice cream, and it isn't fair if we take it away. Everyone should have the opportunity to live just like everyone should have the opportunity to eat their ice cream.
