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?
Turning our homes into houses of learning can start with daily prayer. From there, we can add personal and family scripture study. We can also strive to read and share what we read with our children to encourage them to “seek … out of the best books words of wisdom…”. Ultimately, we should invite the Holy Ghost into our lives to help us continually learn. When we do so, we truly “seek learning, even by study and also by faith” (D&C 88:118).

We have some great activities and resources to help assist you in celebrating a Christ-centered Easter this year! We recommend picking the activities that work best for you and your family. We think just a few activities will allow you to celebrate Easter, but also allow you time to focus on our Savior and what He has done for us. Our hope is that you will find something meaningful for your family to help celebrate this special holiday!
Scripture Study
Read D&C 88:6-13, 21-25 and 36-40. As you read the verses, keep a tally of how many times you hear/ read the word “light” and “law” by using the tally sheet. Then compare and the tallies you have under each word. Explain that by following the law of Christ we can receive more light. Talk about ways you’ve seen your children keep the law of Christ that helps keep the spirit in your home.
Go & Do Activity
Read D&C 88:123 and watch a video about loving one another. As you watch, look for examples of how each person is showing love to someone else. Make the Love One Another Paper Chain. Discuss how you and your family can show love to others.
Hands-On Activity
Read D&C 88:119 and work to put together the seven different houses from the scripture in the order you read them. After they are all aligned, talk about each one and how you can add this “house” to your house. When finished, decide on one thing your family can work on together this week to build your house into a house of “prayer, fasting, faith, learning, glory, order, and God.”

Go & Do Activity
Cut a large heart out of paper. With your child, decorate the heart for someone. Talk about how giving the heart to them is a way for you to show love to them. Teach that Jesus taught us to love one another. Then, read D&C 88:123 and teach that we should show love to all people. Ask your child how they can show love to others and how they feel when someone else shows love to them. You could prompt them if they are struggling to come up with their own answers. You could also share your own examples of showing and feeling love. Then, with your child, play the Love One Another bean bag toss. You could also print pictures of family members for the game. Toss the bean bag onto a picture and share how you can show love to that person. Share your testimony that when we love one another, we feel Jesus’s love for us.

The Lord loved His people, the children of Israel. We read in Ruth that His love wasn’t just for the nation as a whole, but for each person individually who kept their covenants. Ruth is an example of a convert to the faith who trusted in the Lord to keep her and her mother-in-law safe during a famine. Ruth’s loyalty to God helped her see His blessings in her life and trust that even in an uncertain world, good things would come.
What does the perfect parent look like? Is it someone who never yells? Who is always present with their children? Maybe it’s someone who cooks food that the kids never complain about. The Book of Judges teaches us that even with specific rules and expectations, the children of Israel had a habit of returning to sin and idolatry time and time again. Even after they sinned or complained yet again, the Lord always invited them to start new and return to Him.
Most of the Israelites heading into the Promised Land had been born in the wilderness. Few remembered the treacherous journey across the bottom of the Red Sea, yet all would experience the miracle again as they crossed the Jordan River on dry ground. This time, however, it was not a crowd of fleeing former slaves who worshipped golden calves. It was the camp of Israel, a covenant-making people who had proven their faithfulness to the Lord.
