Righteous Traditions: Wise and Worthwhile Words of Wisdom (from BYU Women's Conference)



I had them pass tennis balls. . .these represented worldly traditions (not bad ones, just ones that we may do that don't really have a good or bad effect on us) and then i had them pass a odd colored ball around (spiritual traditions: things that bring us closer to the lord as a family). As I added more balls it gave the girls more balls to juggle. I made it a point to say "keep your eye on the spiritual traditions", to indicate that we have all these traditions that we may or may not choose to continue in the future. . .but it is important to continue the righteous traditions and not "drop" them (such as reading scriptures and going to church).  (Idea by Marian Allred / ga06022007)



I gave a lesson many years ago on traditions and the lesson suggested using a scene from Fiddler On The Roof where he talks about traditions. (Idea by Susan Wild)
