For one of our lessons one of our
teachers used a very clear flat vase and had it full of water. She
described this as the world. She then poured some oil into the
water....well a good bit of oil. It formed a nice layer on the top of the
water - you could liken the oil to the Young Women Program/Gospel. She
then took a little bottle of food coloring and dropped in many drops -
depending on how many young women you have you could add one drop for each
of them. The food coloring stayed
on the top of the oil in little round drops. She explained how the gospel
of Jesus Christ buoys us up and keeps up safe from worldly things. After
time a couple of the food coloring drops fell through...she explained that
the gospel of Jesus Christ never fails us....sometimes we stop doing the
right good things and we begin to "join" the world - perhaps we've stopped
praying or studying scriptures. It was a very powerful spotlight to begin
her lesson.
