Primary Program 2011

Each year our church enjoys the Primary Program during Sacrament Meeting.  The program is a chance for our little ones to share the songs and messages of Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father that they have learned throughout the past year.  This years theme was I Know the Scriptures Are True.  Each of the children not only get to sing, but have a speaking part as well.  

Our children have practiced their speaking parts and songs for weeks!  They attended practice on Friday and enjoyed the Fiesta following practice.  Today as we were driving to the church my heart was full of excitement and nervous for Adam and Addison as well as Alex and how he would handle the program.

As the children took their places on the stand and our family moved to our designated pew for Alex my nerves were definitely letting themselves be known.  As the program began though and my two oldest were on the stand singing my heart began to slow and melt away my nerves.  What happened next though truly was a gift directly from my Heavenly Father.  Alex joined his class and Sister Crezee on the stand and began to sing.  As the tears ran down my face I don't think there were nor still are words to express that moment in time for me.  Alex didn't really sing another song, but I will truly cherish that moment in my heart forever.

Adam memorized his part and said it very well.  Addison needed a little reminding, but her smile and excitement was a true joy to watch.  The Primary Program has always been my favorite Sacrament Meeting of the year.  I don't think I have to tell you though that today was by far my most enjoyable yet!  I am truly blessed by my little ones and their sweet spirits!
