This weeks Come Follow Me FHE lesson is focused on the charity. Place the Heart Attack Hearts all around the room and let the kids guess what the lesson is about. If they say love explain that charity is a fancy word for love.
Read together Moroni 7:47 and talk about how charity means the pure love of Christ. Let everyone think of a story when Christ showed charity.
Introduce the Charity Tree. Come up with acts of service that your family can do during the month of December. Hang this up somewhere in your home and choose an act of charity each day. We bought these scratch off stickers to cover the ornaments after you write on them. Scratch off one each day and complete that act of charity.
Use the Scripture Study Guide to learn more about charity.
Think of someone that could use something to brighten their day. Color and decorate the Heart Attack Hearts. Write compliments or uplifting messages on the hearts and tape them to their door.
Use the Hope in Christ coloring page as a bonus activity this week. Have a discussion about how Christ helps us through hard times.
Read Moroni 7:20-48. Use the Good and Evil Sort activity and talk about how having faith helps us lay hold upon each of these good things.

It’s easy to wish the Lord would show us everything we need to do to be happy and successful. However, that’s not His way. Instead, we are to act under His guidance and do the things we feel would bring to pass righteousness. As He tells the saints in Doctrine and Covenants 62, do that “as seemeth you good, it mattereth not unto me; only be faithful.”
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).”
In a world that revolves around money, it can be stressful to know how we can support our families and make the most of the resources we obtain. We should feel grateful to know that in the Lord’s Church, Jesus Christ provides direction on how temporal resources can be used to further His work. He instructs the saints in Doctrine and Covenants 51 to collect money, food, and clothing to help provide for each other. We also read of the commandment to build a bishop’s storehouse.
