Questions to Ponder
Thanks so much to the volunteer who provided these questions. Sign up to help with questions next General Conference!
What does it mean to you to know that blessings will come either in this life or the next?
How are you able to handle and deal with promised blessings that do not come in this life?
How do you handle trials that come your way? How can you help your loved ones or those you minister to through their trials?
How do you feel the Lord’s hand in your life when you are going through trials?
How do you encourage your children to grow in the gospel? What about a child who is constantly resistant to seeking and learning more about the gospel?
Other than reading our scriptures, going to church, attending the temple, and saying our prayers, how can we really be examples to our children and a good influence on them?
What are the ways to be good influences on those around us both in and out of the church?
How can you teach your children and loved ones to know the Lord’s will?
What do you do to have the faith needed to get through trials?
How are the trials we each experience unique to our own mortal journeys?
Discussion Ideas
One of the great things about trials is that when someone does a small and even imperfect act of love towards you, you can see how much it really means. What are some acts of kindness that made difference for you? How can you lift others while you are going through your trials? How can others help you?
Discuss how we need to prepare ourselves now to survive the hard time later with this object lesson using a sponge from Creative Bible Study.
Here’s another fun object lesson with balloons- you may want to practice beforehand!
Celebrate the sweetest story ever told, one tiny treat at a time.
Turn everyday candies into thoughtful Christmas gifts, a daily scripture countdown, or a family Christmas Eve devotional. Our Nativity Candy Circles attach to wrapped treats like Hershey’s Kisses, Rolos, and miniature Reese’s peanut butter cups, adding a reminder of Jesus Christ to each little bite.
For a countdown, include one of each picture and choose a candy at random each day, December 1–24. Match the picture to the scripture guide and read about the Savior’s birth, life, and mission. For a Christmas devotional, use the separate numbered Nativity guide to assign readings and share the Christmas story together.
Or simply fill a mug, jar, treat bag, or stocking with decorated candies. No counting required! Add a matching gift tag for neighbors, teachers, friends, or the families you minister to.
Your instant-download PDF includes:
Two sets of 24 candy-circle designs: a KJV Bible edition and a Bible + Book of Mormon edition, with four complete sets per candy-circle page.
Matching scripture countdown guides for both editions, with picture references, short reading titles, and checkboxes.
Nativity devotional reading guides for both editions, with numbered assignments for reading the Christmas story in order.
Coordinating gift tags and jar-lid labels.
Assembly instructions and creative gifting ideas.
Print the candy circles at actual size, cut with scissors or a ¾-inch circle punch, and attach them to your wrapped candies with a glue stick or double-sided tape.
