Heavenly
Father Gave Me a Body Just Like His
Lesson from Tiny Talks, Vol. 11

Illustration Ideas: A policeman,
a chef, a scientist, modest clothes for a girl, modest clothes for a boy
Lesson: What do a policeman, a chef, and a scientist
all have in common? Each of them wear special clothes when they go to
work. Their clothes help them do their jobs. A policeman wears his
uniform so people know who to ask for help if something bad happens. A
chef wears clean clothes and a big hat to keep his kitchen clean. And a
scientist wears a coat to protect himself from chemicals.
Even
though you probably don’t wear a uniform or go to work yet, your clothes still
tell people who you are and what you do. When you wear clean, modest clothes,
people can see that you know how special your body is, and they will think you
are special too. Wearing modest clothing shows everyone that you are working to
build Heavenly Father’s kingdom.
You
can show Heavenly Father how much you love your body by dressing modestly.
When you show respect for your body, you also show respect for Heavenly
Father.
Thought Question: What
could you do to show others that you enjoy being modest?
Challenge Discussion: Share
your list you made during the week, looking for something daily to be grateful
for about your body.
