Parents, imagine weaving a beautiful tapestry with your children, each thread representing a Christ-like attribute. As each strand strengthens, so does the entirety of the weave. Our lesson this week from 1 and 2 Peter is all about cultivating these very attributes, weaving them into our daily lives, and more importantly, into the lives of our little ones. Dive deep into the scriptures, teach them the art of resilience, and most of all, have fun while doing it!
Dive into our activities to help your children embrace, embody, and spread the love of Christ, drawing strength even during challenges. Our aim? To make gospel learning delightful, easy and time-efficient. Remember, the essence is not just to read the scriptures, but to let them take root in our hearts.

Let’s foster resilience and faith!

Zion’s Camp was less of an army marching to liberate Missouri and more of a multi-week training in how to be a true saint. Those who showed they trusted in the Lord by following the Prophet Joseph received a massive boost to their faith, giving them strength for the road ahead: “That they themselves may be prepared, and that my people may be taught more perfectly, and have experience” (Doctrine and Covenants 105:10).
Doctrine and Covenants 97 was given to the saints as both a blessing of comfort and instruction. With persecution growing around them, the saints needed to know the will of the Lord to guide them. Jesus Christ spoke peace to the saints through the Prophet Joseph, encouraging them to wait “patiently on the Lord” and to do what He would do, even if it meant further persecution (D&C 97:2).
It’s easy to think that, as parents, we’re not doing enough to give our children a good life. The world is always persuading us to look at what others are doing and tells us our kids are missing out on extravagant trips, the latest entertainment systems, and privileged extracurricular activities. Yet these experiences will fall short of the positive impact that regular family prayer, daily scripture study, and keeping covenants can have on our children.
