A couple of weeks ago we talked about the Holy Ghost in our Young Women class. We talked a lot about how once you have the gift of the Holy Ghost you can always have his companionship if you live worthy of it. I decided to put together these "purse kits" with little reminders of ways to be worthy of the Holy Ghost.
I found these little gift bags (aka- purses) at DollarTree. I think they were 12 for $1, so really inexpensive. I added a little tag that said,
"The Holy Ghost Purse Kit- Never leave home without it! Just like a favorite purse, the Holy Ghost can be your constant companion. The contents of this purse kit will remind you to stay worthy so you can always have the companionship of the Holy Ghost"
Here is what I included in the kit:
"Lip Balm- keep your thoughts, words, and actions soft and kind.
Bandage- let your wounds heal. Don't hold grudges!
Sanitizing Wipe- repent often and keep your life free from sin."
I added some pink tissue paper and done! I think they turned out cute and I hope they will remind the Young Women of our lesson.
I used these handouts for our Young Women, but I'm sure they could be used for any lesson on the Holy Ghost (well, for any lesson for girls anyway). Maybe you could give one to a little girl turning 8? I know the Relief Society always loves a good handout too!
Our lessons in Young Women are part of the new Come Follow Me teaching curriculum. Is anyone else using this for their youth classes? How are you liking it?
I love this!!! It brought tears to my eyes!!! I definately will use this one. Thank you so much!

Hi Stefany! I am so grateful that you are willing to share your talent with others rather than "hiding it under a bushel." Since I am no where as creative as you, would you be willing to share this pdf with me for my lesson this upcoming Sunday? Thank you in advance!
ReplyDeleteI sent you an email requesting an emailed copy of the thought in pdf.
ReplyDeleteAfter working with my group of Mia Maids and searching all over Pinterest, they decided they liked your purse idea comparison to the Holy Ghost the best. Thanks for sharing your creativity.
Is the pdf still available? I would love to get a copy to use for this Wednesday's combined activity. Please send to: invest2gether@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThis is a great original idea for a Holy Ghost lesson! I am using it to give the talk at my 8 year old niece's baptism! I did exchange it for a real purse. I also added a map to express the holy ghost is a guide for us, and added a play cell phone to explain that this is one of the ways that our Heavenly Father communicates with us. Thanks for sharing the idea!
