My first lesson teaching the Beehives was on preserving memories - Personal Records. I saw a cute idea and poem and used more of those frappuccino bottles I got from a recycler:
I cut up 6 questions for each value color and printed it on the coordinating color paper. Here's the poem I used:
Preserve your memories -
seal them up well.
What you forget,
you can never retell.
But a journal that's kept
fresh on the shelf -
Might help someone
in need . . .
perhaps even yourself!
I also made a candy journal out of 2 chocolate nuggets:
It says on one side:
Pray and ponder each day asking yourself,
Did God send a message that was just for ME?
And on the opposing side:
Write it down!
It preserves that memory to remember how
much God loves us and how much we need him.
