My Gospel Standards Bookmark

Instructions: Mount pages F12 and F13 on heavy paper. Cut out the bookmarks, fold them along the broken lines, and glue the backs together. Punch a hole in the top of each bookmark, and loop-tie several narrow strips of ribbon about nine inches (23 cm) long through the hole (see illustration). These bookmarks will help you remember to use My Gospel Standards to choose the right each day. They would also make good gifts for friends who want to know more about the Church’s standards.

Christ with Children, by Del Parson

I AM A CHILD OF GOD
I know Heavenly Father loves me, and I love Him.
I can pray to Heavenly Father anytime, anywhere.
I am trying to remember and follow Jesus Christ.

MY GOSPEL STANDARDS
I will follow Heavenly Father’s plan for me.
I will remember my baptismal covenant and listen to the Holy Ghost.
I will choose the right. I know I can repent when I make a mistake.
I will be honest with Heavenly Father, others, and myself.
I will use the names of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ reverently. I will not swear or use crude words.
I will do those things on the Sabbath that will help me feel close to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
I will honor my parents and do my part to strengthen my family.
I will keep my mind and body sacred and pure, and I will not partake of things that are harmful to me.
I will dress modestly to show respect for Heavenly Father and myself.
I will only read and watch things that are pleasing to Heavenly Father.
I will only listen to music that is pleasing to Heavenly Father.
I will seek good friends and treat others kindly.
I will live now to be worthy to go to the temple and do my part to have an eternal family.
