I still remember the first time when I heard this song, by reading the song title I thought it is the physical temple building which it means in the song. Eventually, when I started to learn and do the flip charts for the kids to learn, then I only realized that it mean the physical body which our Heavenly Father gave us.
When I sang the songs with Issac and Annabelle at home, I asked them “Do you all know what is the temple that the Lord gave us in this song?” Annabelle just answered me with her slumber voice, “Mummy, is our body lah…” I was like, “You know!” Annabelle said, “Of coarse…Mama”
“The purpose of music in Primary is to teach the children the gospel of Jesus Christ and help them learn to live it. Primary songs make learning more enjoyable, help children learn and remember gospel truths, and invite the Spirit into Primary.”
That is the first sentence that in our Sharing Time’s instruction in How to Use Music in the Primary.
Thanks again for the loving mother which I found her beautiful and spiritual artworks, that she is so kind in letting us can able to download her artworks that we can use to create our lessons for the children!

Personally, I love this year theme song: If I Listen with My Heart.
I started to love the Children’s Song after doing all these flip charts…
I would have to listen to the music and songs first, try my best to understand the lyrics and I would search for the suitable clip arts to insert in the flip charts. This process have made me get familiar and listen to the songs more. And, this is how I learn the music!
I really grateful for the callings and opportunity that Heavenly Father give me, to learn the ‘things’ I am lack of in my calling as a teacher and second counsellor in the Primary, which is the music!
Well, this one is mainly for Issac. Initially I thought that Issac too, will have a duet with Annabelle or a Solo himself. Eventually, I was hearing wrongly.
When I showed this flip chart to both. Both of them love it very much too! I am started to learn how to sing the Children’s Songbook after this Primary Presentation assignment.
I guess practicing the songs together with the children through the own made flip chart, really ‘forced’ me to learn the songs. The songs are beautiful truly.
Two days ago, Sister Jennifer texted me the songs that both Issac and Annabelle will be participated in the Primary Presentation later at 30 Oct 2016.
There will be a duet that Annabelle and Daddy will be singing – A Child’s Prayer. I am thinking of making a flip chart for both of them, during practicing the song at home.
During I was browsing through the internet, I came to know that this wonderful mother whom is an artist, shared her drawings and sketches in her website for the members and non-members to use her hand drawn and colored clip art artworks to create anything related to everything.
Frankly I love it so much! Her website is here: http://susanfitchdesign.blogspot.my. And, you can also visit her shop at etsy at https://www.etsy.com/shop/SusanFitchDesign.
Here is the flip chart I created using her artworks. I really love her artworks so much! The children she draws, Jesus Christ she draws, everything she draws are so spiritual!
Both Issac and Annabelle are so delighted during seeing this flip chart!
