Items needed
- a drawing of an umbrella surrounded by large raindrops OR
- a real umbrella, with paper raindrops hanging off of it, attached by different lengths of string.
Have the class write or tell different temptations that occur in their lives. Write them on the raindrops and explain that just like in a rainstorm, Satan is constantly surrounding us with temptations. Our relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ is like the umbrella. The better shape the umbrella is in, the more it will protect us from Satan and his constant temptations.
Matthew 23:37
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
3 Nephi 10:4-6
4 O ye people of these great cities which have fallen, who are descendants of Jacob, yea, who are of the house of Israel, how oft have I gathered you as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and have nourished you.
5 And again, how oft would I have gathered you as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, yea, O ye people of the house of Israel, who have fallen; yea, O ye people of the house of Israel, ye that dwell at Jerusalem, as ye that have fallen; yea, how oft would I have gathered you as a hen gathereth her chickens, and ye would not.
6 O ye house of Israel whom I have spared, how oft will I gather you as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, if ye will repent and return unto me with full purpose of heart.
