Feeling the Spirit in Primary

At church on Sunday Ethan didn't want to go to his class. I went and sat with him in Primary. Normally I would have hated this and tried to avoid it, but I am really glad I got to go to Primary. A member of the Bishopric and his wife gave the sharing time about mothers. They had a little trivia game about mothers in the church.

After the sharing time the song leader had a song game for the kids. A child would pick a card off the chalk board and the piano player would play the first few notes of the song. The kids would then guess what the song was. The first song was "A Child's Prayer". I love this song and use to sing it to Audrey quite often. It's one of those songs where the child sings a verse then the adult sings a verse and then they sing their separate verses together. On the second verse it says "Pray, He is there. Speak, He is listening. You are His child. His love now surrounds you." When I began to sing "His love now surrounds you" I felt a warmth fill my body and I began to cry. The song leader was crying, the Primary President was crying, the Primary counselors were crying and a few female teachers were crying. It was a really amazing feeling. The spirit filled that room and I knew that Heavenly Father loved those children. I felt his love and the spirit very strongly. I am so glad I got to go to Primary. If I hadn't, I would have missed out on such a beautiful experience.

This is so neat Marcie! Thank you for sharing. I often wonder at the beautiful spirit of that Primary room. It is often breathtaking.
