Beauty and the Beast: Divine Worth and Potential

Main Lesson: Fairy Tale – 
Beauty and the Beast & Divine Worth and Potential

We told the children, “only you get to be you, and nobody else, and you have so many special things about you to discover. So does this amazing world we get to live in. Then, we sang a song called, “How Beautiful the World Is”, as we moved near the couch to get ready for story time. As we settled in, we said a short little verse about a wise old owl, which emphasizes the power of listening and learning.

Next, we read the story of Beauty and the Beast, and talked about how they discovered that love helped the beast turn back into his true form, a Prince! Likewise, every person is a Prince or Princess from Heaven. It may not always look or feel that way. Sometimes, we may think others, or even ourselves seem more like a Beast than a Prince or Princess, but love can always help to reveal the divine nature within us and others, no matter how beastly we’ve become! Then we pretended to put on imaginary crowns, by making circles with our hands and putting them on our heads.
