Lesson 39: I Can Follow Jesus Christ by Serving Others
“Lesson 39: I Can Follow Jesus Christ by Serving Others”, Primary 2: Choose the Right A, (1995), 212–16
1. "Give," said the little stream,
"Give, oh! give, give, oh! give."
"Give," said the little stream,
As it hurried down the hill;
"I'm small, I know, but wherever I go
The fields grow greener still."
Singing, singing all the day,
"Give away, oh! give away."
Singing, singing all the day,
"Give, oh! give away."
"Give," Said the Little Stream
2. "Give," said the little rain,
"Give, oh! give, give, oh! give."
"Give," said the little rain,
As it fell upon the flow'rs;
"I'll raise their drooping heads again,"
As it fell upon the flow'rs.
Singing, singing all the day,
"Give away, oh! give away."
Singing, singing all the day,
"Give, oh! give away."
"Give," Said the Little Stream
3. Give, then, as Jesus gives,
Give, oh! give, give, oh! give.
Give, then, as Jesus gives;
There is something all can give.
Do as the streams and blossoms do:
For God and others live.
Singing, singing all the day,
"Give away, oh! give away."
Singing, singing all the day,
"Give, oh! give away."
"Give," Said the Little Stream

Let’s learn about a great service that Jesus Christ performed at the
Last Supper.
Read it Watch it Hear it
It was not unusual for people to have their feet washed, because
most people wore sandals and their feet became very dusty and dirty.
Peter did not want Jesus to wash his feet because he thought it was
not right for Jesus to act as a servant.
Jesus Christ wants us to serve whenever we can, even if we are
not asked to help or are not rewarded for our help.
“It was so dark that the sleepy seven-year-old boy could hardly find his way down the path to the
barn. He had planned for days how he could get out of bed, dress, creep quietly down the stairs,
take the milking bucket from the pantry shelf, and leave the house without waking anyone.
“… [Joseph] had seen his sister, Mary, milk the cow many times. He found it wasn’t as easy as he
thought it would be. … Before long his fingers and wrists ached. He had to stop often to rest them. …
“The boy was so intent on milking that he did not realize how long it had taken, and was surprised to find that daylight had come … when he finally
left the barn and started for the house. As he entered the kitchen, Mother looked up from the stove where she was preparing breakfast, and
asked, ‘Why, Joseph, what have you been doing so early in the morning?’
“He held up the filled milk bucket in answer, and felt a warm rush of joy at his mother’s smile of
approval. ‘Well,’ she said, ‘since it seems you are big enough, milking each morning will be your
job.’ She paused and then questioned, ‘But why is it you were so anxious to milk that cow?’
“Joseph lifted an earnest face to his mother as he answered, ‘I just want to help while Father is on his mission. And you see, [Mary] has so many
other things to do, I thought if I could take care of the morning milking, she wouldn’t have to worry
about that!’
“… His mother put her arms around him and held him close as she said, ‘How pleased your father
will be when I write and tell him that he has a fine young man to take care of milking the cow while
he is away!’” (Lucile C. Reading, “The Morning Chore,” Children’s Friend, Apr. 1970, p. 23).
This young boy’s name was Joseph Fielding
Smith, and he became the tenth President of the Church when he
grew up.
13 We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.
