In the Friend to Friend episode “Sharing the Love of Jesus with Others,” available to download and stream on September 14, 2024, the Primary General Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints invites children “to look for examples of how Jesus shared His love with others and let them inspire you to do the same.”
Puppets, songs, videos, scripture examples, and stories teach children to recognize Heavenly Father’s love for them and how they can share the love of Jesus with others.
Helping Jesus Share His Life for Others
In this episode, child hosts Millie Ferreira and Victor Batista, with the help of their puppet friends Louie the Toucan and Gilbert, explain how shared hugs, smiles and friendly waves help us feel loved. Jesus loves every single person on earth, the children teach, but He needs our help sharing His love with others.
This principle is illustrated in the video story “Guess Who Loves You, Mrs. Banks,” in which a young girl, Roxie, serves her former teacher, Mrs. Banks, who gets sick and must visit the hospital for treatments. Each day for two weeks, Roxie secretly leaves a different flower for Mrs. Banks to find when she returns home. Through Roxie’s simple acts of love, Mrs. Banks gets her smile back, and Roxie feels good sharing her and Jesus’s love with her friend.
