Thought/Scripture:

Doctrine and Covenants 79:1.

Share your testimony of “the power” you have received when you were ordained or set apart to callings in the Church.

What specific gifts and inspiration did the Lord bless you with as you served?

Lesson:

Doctrine and Covenants 77:14.

This verse explains that John ate a book that represented his mission to gather Israel. What does the symbolism of eating suggest about how we should approach our role in gathering Israel or doing other things the Lord wants us to do? Here are some other scriptures in which eating is used to teach a spiritual truth: John 6:48–51; 2 Nephi 32:3; Moroni 4. Perhaps you could make a favorite family dish to eat together during this discussion.

Doctrine and Covenants 77:2.

After reading this verse, family members could draw pictures of their favorite “beasts, … creeping things, … [or] fowls of the air” created by God. What do we learn about God’s creations from this verse? (see also Doctrine and Covenants 59:16–20). You could also sing a song about God’s creations, such as “My Heavenly Father Loves Me” (Children’s Songbook, 228–29), and display the painting that accompanies this outline.

Doctrine and Covenants 78:17–19.

Family members could draw pictures of blessings from God they are thankful for. What are we doing to express our thankfulness for these blessings? You could also discuss how your family is following the counsel to receive “all things with thankfulness” (verse 19). What does the Lord promise to those who do?
