THOUGHT TREAT: Testimony Hourglass Cereal Bars. Make an hourglass-shaped marshmallow-and-cereal treat and use it as follows.
To Make Treat: Melt 3 tablespoons margarine and marshmallows in a large bowl.
1. Add one of the following marshmallow choices: (1) 10-ounce package of marshmallows, (2) 40 regular sized marshmallows, or (3) 4 cups of miniature marshmallows.
2. Add 6 cups of rice puff cereal and stir. Lightly butter a 12x9x2-inch pan and press marshmallow treat in a pan.
3. Add strings by cutting treats into 6″ x 2″ bars and wrap in clear plastic wrap. Tie two different strings tightly in a bow in the middle of the treat to create an hourglass shape.
Thought (to match Treat): Tell youth that the hourglass represents our time here on earth, and this hourglass-shaped treat reminds us of the sweet blessings Heavenly Father has given us. He has given us a special gift with no strings attached (cut off one string). This gift is the gift of resurrection. Everyone will live again with a resurrected body. The second gift of eternal life has a string attached (leave second string on). We must earn this special gift if we want to spend all of eternity with our families and with our Heavenly Father and Jesus who love us. Remember our potential is great and we can receive this gift if we use our time wisely.
