In The Family: A Proclamation to the World it states:
…All human beings—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny….
…In the premortal realm, spirit sons and daughters knew and worshipped God as their Eternal Father and accepted His plan by which His children could obtain a physical body and gain earthly experience to progress toward perfection and ultimately realize their divine destiny as heirs of eternal life…
One of my favorite children’s song in the children’s song book is titled I Feel My Savior’s Love – #74. I listen to this song often as it truly reminds me of my divine heritage and the fact that I AM a daughter of my Heavenly Father. On my blog I often “write” with pictures as I really do believe that pictures say what I feel better, so I will attempt to help you see what I feel when I hear this song.
I feel my Savior’s love
In all the world around me.
His Spirit warms my soul
Through everything I see.
I feel my Savior’s love;
Its gentleness enfolds me,
And when I kneel to pray,
My heart is filled with peace.
I feel my Savior’s love
And know that he will bless me.
I offer him my heart;
My shepherd he will be.
I’ll share my Savior’s love
By serving others freely.
In serving I am blessed,
In giving I receive.
He knows I will follow him,
Give all my life to him.
I feel my Savior’s love,
The love he freely gives me.
Now, some of these photos I included are photos that make me feel the love of our Heavenly Father and our Savior. They see us, they are aware of us, they have created all for us to enjoy.
I know that my Savior loves me.
I am a daughter of my Heavenly Father. I have a big brother who died on the cross for me. He loves me. He wants us all to return to live with him again.
Our Heavenly Father wanted us to have a family. I am so blessed to be a mother and a wife to 4 of the most amazing males on this earth. My boys bring me joy and my husband is my best friend and helpmate in all I do.
Thank you to Cocoa for including me in this celebration. I am so blessed in my life and am thankful I can share with all of you.

Those photos are soo cool! What a great way to illustrate His love for us! Thank you!
That is one of my favorite primary songs too! The pictures convey the song so beautifully. Thank you for sharing.
This makes me want to pick a Primary song and illustrate it through pictures with my kids. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve always loved this song.
And you did a really sweet job of illustrating it!
So lovely!
and just as you know HF loves you, look at how He loves the earth and all things he created. He loves us enough to share His splendors and you are wise to extend that love to His creations and then on to this blog. Thank you so much.
Love the song too. Thanks for sharing.
I love that song I always cry when I hear it because it is such a strong testimony of our Saviors love for me!! {and everyone}
Back when I was in Primary, hearing the kids sing that song would always make me tear up. One of the sweetest things in the world to hear a room full of children sing about their Savior’s love:)
What a great idea to post with beautiful pictures!
I can express my feelings better through pictures too. When I think of the love of Jesus Christ for me, I see Easter lilies in my head!
I love the photos you used to illustrate this song! What a fun family project and testimony-builder at the same time!
These photos are beautiful. Thanks. I love that song, too, especially the part about “He knows I will follow Him…”
Thanks for all the kind words. I love the feelings that the song invokes in me and am greatful that you can also “see” my vision of the song.
I love this primary song! And the picture of the fiddle head fern is beautiful. We have some, but they are only at that stage for a very short time. It makes me look forward to next spring!
I love the ferns for “his gentleness enfolds me” that gave me little tingles all over. Beautiful post.
I am so glad I heard about your blog through “Diapers and Divinity”! I love this post!!! I can’t wait to sit down and explore all your great stuff! We are considering homeschooling so I am excited to see what you have for info…Keep up the great posts!
I really like the way you tied the words and photos together. They are great lyrics. Thanks!
Love the post and love the pictures. You did a great job!
Fantastic photos. I love hearing my 4 yr old daughter sing it as well!
I love this. Thanks for sharing.
Love this! Thanks for your thoughts. A beautiful song!
Primary songs are some of the most beautiful poetry ever! I especially enjoyed it because “I Feel My Savior’s Love” is my love is my eldest daughter’s favorite song. I think I may have to put some of the songs to family pictures as well.
Primary Songs are the best. They remove all the fluff and get right down to the basics. It is the sweetest thing to hear your own kids sing about the Savior.
Lovely thoughts! Thanks for your post. I am really enjoying all these different posts about family!
I’m glad to have a reminder of my worth. Thanks!
Simply beautiful—truth is like that, isn’t it?
The pictures really added so much to this one 🙂 It was so nice to read!
This is another AWESOME idea for a quiet book! Especially if you individualize it for each child and things THEY love!
Thank you to all of you for your comments. I really am greatful that you could see what I feel as I sing this amazing song. My voice may not be wonderful, but my feelings are. 🙂
