Our Sunday School lesson was prepared and taught by Kim who began by sharing one of her family portraits with the class.
She asked us to think about some of the ways that parents show love for their children, and how do children show love for their parents, brothers, and sisters?
Our earthly family unit helps us to understand our relationship with God, our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ our brother.
The class participation was insightful as Dave commented that we are already the children of God, but when we choose to keep the covenants we've made with Him, we become spiritually begotten of Him.
Diana mentioned the struggle it is as a parent to allow children to suffer a bit as they grow and develop.
Kim's husband (and sometimes her substitute teacher that she appreciates) talked about the importance of communication with Heavenly Father and that our prayers be genuine and sincere, not just going through the technical motions.
Dave said that we Love God, because HE first loved us, and we show that love by keeping the commandments.
Keep em' coming my friend. Even if I'm able to hear these messages, its always great to have a back up. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to catch lessons lately because of health "glitches" but hopefully the new year will bring better times!!
