Today's sunday school lesson was on the priesthood, and one question particularly 'pricked' my heart:
How can boys and young men prepare to receive the Aaronic Priesthood?
Great question, and one I have wondered so many times before, what do Nate and I need to be doing in our home to prepare Carter for this important opportunity that waits for him?
Here are some answers given by other members in the class:
Teach them to serve others
Take your 9, 10, &11 year old boys to help serve others-moving, cleaning, yard work, etc. as needed.
Take him to priesthood sessions before he is 12.
Be an example at home of what a priesthood holder is (for Nate)
Some answers are common sense but I was glad to be taught today that I should be teaching Carter to serve and that this is a main responsibility of a priesthood holder.
