some faces

I was searching online for clipart from The Friend that I could use for my nursery lesson this Sunday. As I was clicking through images in the "people" category (the lesson is on "I Belong to a Family"), I came across the gems you see below.

Why do these children's faces warm my heart so? Well, only because they were cut out, laminated, attached to large popsicle sticks, and used as visual aids for one of the talks nearly every child in my family gave at one time or another during our years in Primary.

Want me to share the talk with you? I still have it memorized.*


Some faces are round,


some faces are thin,


some faces are freckled,


some have a long chin.


Faces of children
are different, it's true.
But each child is special,
there's only one you!


*And speaking of memorized Primary talks, one of these days I'll have to tell you about the very first talk I gave in Sharing Time when I was a four-year-old Sunbeam. (Which yes, I had memorized.)

I was obviously a primary president when you were a 4 yr. old because I also had all of these little cherubic faces laminated on popsicle sticks!!! (Note the age difference :) I love it.

I remember those from when I was in primary! I think that is a must in every talk/FHE file!

I was a Nursery Leader about 1980 and I do remember art work by this fun artist! I used the stick puppets weekly!
