Begin this Come Follow Me lesson by completing the prayer puzzle. Read the scripture on the puzzle together and discuss what it means.
Read together 3 Nephi 12. While you read the younger kids could color the Blessed coloring page and the older kids can complete the Beatitudes Foldable.
Before the lesson make the Beatitudes File Folder Game. Use this to review what you’ve just learned. Discuss what each attribute means.
Read 3 Nephi 12:6 and invite the children to think of a time when they were hungry. Explain that our spirits get hungry just like our bodies and we need to feed our spirit. Use the Nourish Me Cut and Paste Activity to help teach this concept.
As a bonus idea this week study and compare 3 Nephi 14 and Matthew 7. Use the Scripture Study Guides to help.
Learn about the wise man and the foolish man as another bonus activity. Read 3 Nephi 14:21-27. Use the Wise and Foolish scene to help lead a discussion.

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.
