Every Sunday after church, we gather the children together for our "third hour" of church. There's often whining and murmuring, but like I said- we are trying to at least be obedient.
I LOVED studying the New Testament last year. I learned so much about our Savior and His relationship with me and all of us.
But, doing the Book of Mormon this year has been wonderful! These our stories that I know well, that the children know well. It is a very visual read, with a ton of great stories. It's just a much easier read than any other scripture (and, can I just admit- I'm not really looking forward to the Old Testament. I'm glad we are a couple of years away from it!).
Anyway, we did have a sweet lesson a couple of weeks ago from 1 Nephi 11. I had the kids draw out what Nephi saw every time the angel said, "LOOK!"
They added Baby Yoda in several of the pictures. I told you- we aren't perfect at this.
For the first time in my dozens of times reading the Book of Mormon I saw the Tree of Life for what it truly is- the Savior. Not just the love of God, but truly the Savior himself. Everything about the vision is the Savior. We had a great discussion about it.
And this week for FHE Claire had fun making Liahona Brownies for everyone to find using a makeshift Liahona as our guide.
I'm so grateful for the Savior, and for CFM!!!!
