Tonight was a rare night when I was able to take a nice soaky bath and crawl into bed a little earlier than usual with my book. As I was laying there I could hear Emily in the bedroom next to me, singing away to music on the Ipod. I strained to hear what she was singing and realized that she was singing the Articles of Faith.
Primary boys and girls are encouraged to memorize the Articles of Faith to earn their Faith in God award once they turn 8 years old. I love teaching my children the songs for these that are in the Childrens Songbook. Once they are learned through song, they are hard to forget. Even now, I can recite the Articles of Faith only by hearing the music in my head as I recite.
Emily is well on her way to having the Articles of Faith memorized…and is not even 8 yet. I love turning on the Primary songs for the little ones to listen to as they drift off to sleep at night. Some of them are beautiful and peaceful, some are fun and spirited, but they all have great messages to fill the minds of my children before bed.
