We all want to arrive at our own “promised land” or “Zion” sooner rather than later. However, we cannot forget that the process of getting there is just as important as the destination itself. As we follow Jesus Christ and keep His commandments, we are changed to become more like the Savior. The trials that accompany this period of growth are essential the eternal reward of being with our families forever, for “after much tribulation come the blessings (DC 58:4).”
Come Follow Me FHE lessons include everything you need to make daily scripture study fun for your kids! Teach your children to love the gospel with our engaging family activities. Start your free trial today!

Go & Do Activity
Before beginning, set up an obstacle course that would be easy for your toddler to complete. If you don’t want to make a mess, you could go outside and draw an obstacle course with chalk! At random points during the course, place stop signs. Start the lesson by singing “Choose the Right Way” (Children’s Songbook, p. 160). Next, explain to your child that Heavenly Father has given us our agency, which means He has allowed us to make choices. Read D&C 58:27-29 and explain that we need to use our agency to make good choices. Heavenly Father promises that if we make good choices, we will be blessed! Complete the obstacle course and have your child collect their reward!

Abraham lived a life of violence and peace, of trauma and healing, and of promises and faith. Through every trial, Abraham trusted in the Lord and chose to follow Him even when his world was at its darkest. He was rewarded with a covenant that encompasses all of God’s children and will last into the eternities. This covenant and its blessings are extended to our families today.
The phrase, “found grace in the eyes of the Lord (Moses 8:27), has at least two meanings that can bless our families. One is that Noah lived in a way that allowed the Lord to strengthen him and his family during difficult circumstances. A second meaning is that Noah discovered the peace that comes from looking at life through God’s eyes. By looking at life with an eternal perspective, Noah “walked with God, as did also his three sons” (Moses 8:27) even in a world filled with wickedness.
In less than one generation, the world God created was filled with wickedness. One exception was Enoch, a prophet who taught his people how to live the gospel of Jesus Christ. As Enoch talked with God, he was amazed to see that the Divine Creator would cry at the fall of His children: “How is it thou canst weep?” (Moses 7:31). God responded, “They are the workmanship of mine own hands” (Moses 7:32). He was sad because each child of God is precious to Him. He grieves for each one of us when our choices take us away from Him.
