We all make mistakes as parents. Sometimes our attention is wrongly distracted from a child’s needs, or perhaps we raised our voice in anger when we should have been calm. Do we seek forgiveness from both the Lord and our children when we do these things? Do we sincerely forgive our children when they err? As the Savior Jesus Christ plainly explains in Doctrine and Covenants 64, forgiveness is a crucial component of achieving peace in the home.
As we strive to feel God’s love in our lives, we should always remember that forgiveness is a gift He gives each of us. We can and should extend that gift frequently to those who make mistakes, especially to our own children: “I, the Lord, will forgive whom I will forgive, but of you it is required to forgive all men” (D&C 64:10).

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 64:33-34, then play Scripture Pictionary together with the provided Pictionary words. Have one family member draw the word while the rest of the family studies D&C 64:33-34 in their scriptures to guess the drawing. Once all the words are guessed, talk about some small and simple things you can do as a family to help build Zion.
Hands-On Activity
As a family, read D&C 64:7-10. Then talk about how it’s not enough to just say you forgive someone, you need to also forgive them in your heart. Sometimes, the people we need to forgive most are in our own families. Use the Forgiveness Hearts page to put reminders around your house so you can remember to forgive each other throughout the week.
Surprise Activity
Read D&C 66:5 and 7 and practice sharing your testimonies by standing in front of your family and saying it as you would in a fast and testimony meeting. Take turns using the foldable microphone as you do this. After everyone who wants to share is finished, talk about sharing your testimony by words or actions as you go throughout your week, at school, work, with friends, at home, etc.

Go & Do Activity
Help your child decorate their crown. Use stickers, jewels, or markers. Cut a 2-inch strip of paper and staple it to the crown, making the crown fit on your child’s head. Read D&C 66:11-12. Teach that when we follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, we will receive the crown of eternal life. This means that we will be able to live with God again someday. Teach that we are all children of God and can become kings and queens in His kingdom. Heavenly Father loves us so much and wants us to return to live with Him. God sent His Son to help us and show us the way.

We often keep things of value in special places: important documents kept in a secured file or safe, dinner china in a display cabinet, or treats too good to share with kids up on the top shelf. These things are kept safe and out of easy reach for good reasons, but there are other things of value we need to make sure are always available to us. Our scriptures are one of these 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.”
