This week’s dinner discussions are based on lesson twenty in the manual. The Primary lessons are one week behind. In the summer months you may want to extend the discussions to include a theme that you work on as a family. These themes could be fun activities or projects that you work on during the summer days or you could choose to make them much more spiritual.
If you have a child in nursery or Sunbeams he learned about being thankful for his eyes. The lesson discussed the many things that we can see. It also pointed out that the beautiful world is a gift from Heavenly Father and that when we see beautiful things, they can remind us of Him. You may want to discuss this with your children.
