“We can’t know for certain, but perhaps Peter understood that the Son of God came not just to do wonderful things for the people but to empower people like Peter to do wonderful things too. Jesus’s invitation, after all, was Come Follow Me.” (Come Follow Me Individuals and Family Manual)
This week is full of greatness! There are two big stories to teach. First the miracle of feeding the thousands with loaves and fishes. Next, Christ walking on water and Peter coming to Him. We enjoyed family dinner of fish sticks and bread sticks (healthy right?) while we read the story aloud from the bible. Then we completed these activities as a family! We sang The Miracle together and it really brought the spirit. Find it HERE and HERE.

Learning is a lifelong journey. While we tend to think of our years in school as the only time in life when we need to gain an education, we know through Doctrine and Covenants 88 that the Lord instructs His faithful to create places of learning in their own homes (D&C 88:119). How do we do that?
Sometimes, things just don’t work out the way we had planned: dinner gets burnt, the car won’t start, or you unexpectedly get laid off from your job. You’ve been promised blessings for keeping the commandments. It might be tempting to wonder where those blessings are when ill fortune strikes.
What is “godliness?” Doctrine and Covenants Section 84 uses the word to describe the way that God prepares us to return to live with Him one day. We do this by inviting our children to be baptized and prepare for the temple. Through participating in priesthood ordinances, we increase our access to the priesthood and experience “the power of godliness” as we come to see God’s presence in our lives every day (Doctrine and Covenants 84:20).
