There are always things to be stressed about in our lives. Wouldn’t it be nice to just enjoy the moment with our loved ones instead of crossing off another item on our to-do list? The Savior Jesus Christ was Himself presented with this choice. He chose to “tarry a little longer” with the Nephites and heal their sick (3 Nephi 17:5). Then, continuing to be moved by compassion, Jesus blessed and played with the children who were present. His love for them overcame the need to move on to His next task.
President Thomas S. Monson once said, “Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved.” With both Christ’s example and a prophet’s guidance, the way for us is clear: loving others will always help us be happier than simply getting things done.

This week, teach your children the chapters of Alma 43-52. You will find an activity book for your children (one for ages 3-6 and one for ages 7+). Print your activity book pages, then cut all of them in half, except the cover. You will fold the cover in half to help keep the pages together. Put all your pages in order inside the cover and then staple along the left-hand edge to keep it together. Make one book for each of your children (see lesson for details).
Hands-On Activity
When we partake of the sacrament, we want our spirits to feel full, not empty. Read 3 Nephi 18:1-12 and explain how we are spiritually filled after taking the sacrament. Use the “sacrament trays” to take one piece of bread and water. For each piece you take, say how you can make the sacrament a more meaningful experience.
Coloring Activity
The Savior loves all of God’s children. He blesses them and prays for them. Read 3 Nephi 17:7, 20-25 and describe His encounter with the children as your own child colors the “Christ Loves All Children” coloring page.
Scripture Study
Jesus teaches us to watch and pray always. In 3 Nephi 18:15-25, He tells us important principles about prayer. After reading and discussing these verses, play the “Roll and Pray” game. Think about things you would give thanks for and ask for. Apply these ideas to your prayers as you make them more purposeful.

Christ ministered to the Nephites. He taught. He blessed. He prayed. He healed. These were all actions that He performed showing that He loved each one of them. He was the perfect example for all to follow. Read 3 Nephi 17:21. You might even choose to watch His ministry in the video, “Jesus Christ Has Compassion and Heals the People” from the Gospel Library. Discuss how Jesus loves us all. Print, cut and prepare the “Remembering Christ Collectible Cards.” You can use them in several ways such as in a quiet book, play with them in a matching game, or put them in baseball sleeves as collectibles. However you choose to use them, they will help your child remember Christ and all the many things He has done to show love.

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.
