Esau and Jacob Embracing, by Robert T. Barrett

Activity: Emoji Story

Print and cut out the emojis on the page below and paste to popsicle sticks. Distribute the emojis to your family members and have them hold up the corresponding emojis as you read the lesson. 




When Esau lost his birthright to Jacob👱, he was very angry😡. In Genesis 27 it says, "And Esau hated😡 Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then😡 I will slay my brother Jacob🔪" (v.41).  After talking with his his mother, Rebekah, and his father, Isaac, Jacob 😬 decides to flee from Esau and leave his home🏃. He also wants to find a wife👰 for himself while he is away. 

Jacob👱 journeys until he comes to the house of a man called Laban and he falls in love 😍with Laban's daughter Rachel👩. Laban agrees he can marry Rachel if he works for him for 7 years👷. Jacob 👱agrees and works hard for 7 years👷. On the day of the wedding👰 Laban tricks Jacob 😈and marries his other daughter, Leah 👰to Jacob instead. Still in love😍 with Rachel, Jacob agrees to work 👷another 7 years to marry her. Jacob does and eventually, Jacob 👱 and Rachel are married👰. Jacob ends up having the large family 👪 that the Lord had always promised. Jacob👱 had 4 wives, including Leah and Rachel👩, and he had 12 sons👦. 

Jacob felt it was time to return to his family in Canaan🏃, but he was nervous😬. The last time Jacob had been in Canaan, Esau had been plotting to kill him🔪. Jacob heard on his journey that Esau was going to come meet him with 400 men😱. Jacob decided to pray for help🙏. "Deliver me, I pray thee😔, form the hand of my bother, from the hand of Esau for I fear him😬, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother👰 with the children👦" (Gen. 32:11). Jacob felt inspired to prepare a gift 🎁 for peace ☮ for Esau of sheep and goats🐑🐐. The Lord then appeared to Jacob and blessed him😔. He told him he would be a great leader and he changed Jacob's👱 name to Israel🧔. 

--How do you think Esau will react when he sees Jacob again for the first time over 14 years?

Take turns reading Gen. 33:1-12.

And Jacob 🧔lifted up his eyes👀, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men😱. And he divided the children👦 unto Leah, and unto Rachel👩, and unto the two handmaids.

And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel👩 and Joseph hindermost.

And he passed over before them, and abowed himself🙇 to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.

And Esau ran to meet him🏃, and embraced him🤗, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept😂.

And he lifted up his eyes👀, and saw the women and the children👦; and said, Who are those with thee? 😮And he said, The children 👦which God hath graciously given thy servant🧔.

Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children👦, and they bowed themselves🙇.

And Leah also with her children👦 came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel👩, and they bowed themselves🙇.

And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove🐐🐑 which I met? And he 🧔said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.

And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself😁.

10 And Jacob👱 said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.

11 Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee🐑🐐; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it🎁.

12 And he said, Let us take our journey🏃, and let us go, and I will go before thee😁.

How did Esau react to seeing his brother again? Esau embraced Jacob and accepted him back into his life and his family. The two brothers were reconciled, meaning they "made up." Have you ever had a fight with a family member? 

Elder Holland said, "Surely each of us could cite an endless array of old scars and sorrows and painful memories that this very moment still corrode the peace in someone’s heart or family or neighborhood. Whether we have caused that pain or been the recipient of the pain, those wounds need to be healed so that life can be as rewarding as God intended it to be. Like the food in your refrigerator that your grandchildren carefully check in your behalf, those old grievances have long since exceeded their expiration date" ("The Ministry of Reconciliation" General Conference, Oct. 2018).

The Lord wants us to love and care for our family members, but sometimes the people we love the most hurt us the deepest. Sometimes it is hard to forgive. What helps you forgive someone when they've hurt you? 

Elder Holland continued, "My beloved brothers and sisters, I testify that forgiving and forsaking offenses, old or new, is central to the grandeur of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I testify that ultimately such spiritual repair can come only from our divine Redeemer, He who rushes to our aid 'with healing in his wings'" ("The Ministry of Reconciliation" General Conference, Oct. 2018).

Bear your testimony of how forgiveness has brought you peace and healing.

Lesson 9: Genesis 24-27

February 21-27 
Genesis 24-27
The Covenant is renewed 

Materials: paper, pencils, video (optional)
Opening Song: "I love to see the temple" verse 2(Children's Songbook, 95)
Opening Prayer:

Attention Activity: What do you think is the most important decision you will ever make? The most important choice you will make in your entire life is marrying the right person, in the right place, at the right time. Does that surprise you? Why do you think marriage is so important?

Lesson:

Marriage is essential in God's Plan for his children. Only through an eternal marriage, can we gain all the blessings Heavenly Father has in store for us. 

Tell the story of Rebekah and Isaac or watch this video from youtube.

As Abraham's son, Isaac, grew into a man, Abraham knew he would need a wife. The Lord had promised great blessings to come to Isaac's posterity. But, there was a problem, Abraham and his family lived in the valley of Canaan. The Canaanites did not believe in the God like Abraham did; they weren't members of the church. Abraham did not want Isaac to marry a Canaanite. Why would it be important to marry someone who has the same beliefs as you?

Abraham decided to send one of his servants into his homeland to find a wife for Isaac. The servant took some men and 10 camels and went to the valley of Nehor to find Isaac a wife. The servant was a little nervous; he did not want to disappoint his master. He stopped at a well outside the city and decided to offer a prayer. The servant prayed for the good will of Abraham and he asked the Lord for help in identifying the correct woman to be a wife for Isaac. He asked the Lord to make her known by offering him a drink of water from the well and then offering a drink to his 10 camels. 


Before the servant was through praying, a woman came down to the well and filled her jug--no easy task. The servant asked her for a drink and she gave him one. She then offered to draw more water up from the well for his camels. The servant knew this was the woman the Lord wanted for Isaac, so he asked if he could stay at her house and meet her family. 

The servant met Rebekah's family, and told them about Abraham, and Isaac's need for a wife. The brothers believed the servants words about the Lord indicating Rebekah was the right woman. Rebekah also heard of the servant's prayer and the next morning she told them "I will go."  Back in Canaan, Isaac accepted the servants story also. Rebekah and Isaac were married, "and he loved her." Isaac and Rebekah had a beautiful loving marriage.

Obviously, this isn't the way we go out finding spouses in 2022. But what can we learn from the story? The story of Isaac and Rebekah reminds us how important marriage is and how important it is to receive promptings and personal revelation from the Holy Ghost. 

Have a family member read the following quote from President Hinckley: “There is no substitute for marrying in the temple. It is the only place under the heavens where marriage can be solemnized for eternity. Don’t cheat yourself. Don’t cheat your companion. Don’t shortchange your lives. Marry the right person in the right place at the right time” (Gordon B. Hinckley, “Life’s Obligations,” Ensign, Feb. 1999, 2).

Activity:

Pass out a piece of paper and pencil to each family member. Tell them to describe their ideal future husband or wife. (If they are already married, have them right down good qualities about their spouse). Take turns having everyone read an item or two from their list. 

There's an old saying that goes, "if you want to have a good friend, then be a good friend." The same could be true in finding someone to marry. If you want to find a good person to marry, then be a good person to marry. You might not be ready to look for a spouse right now, you might not even be old enough to date, but it's never too early to start becoming the kind of person you want to be. 

Rebekah, for example, had good qualities that the servant noticed. What do you think were some of Rebekah's good qualities? [Rebekah is described as very fair (pretty), she was also a virgin meaning she was virtuous in keeping the commandment of chastity. Rebekah also was a hard worker who did her chores by fetching water in the large pitchers from the well for her family. Rebekah was also kind to the servant, offering him and his camels drinks and a place to stay for the night. Rebekah listened to Holy Ghost, it must have taken great courage and faith to agree to marry a man she hadn't met, but she did it because she had faith in the Lord.] 

Look back at your list for your spouse. Now ask yourself if you embody some of the qualities on that list? 

Marriage is an important part of Heavenly Father's plan. Marriage isn't always easy, but it is easier if you've chosen the right person and work together to come closer to the Lord. This week, let's try to be a little bit more like Rebekah. Let's practice a little faith, kindness, and let's listen for the guidance of the Holy Ghost in our lives.

Lesson 8: Genesis 18-23

 February 14-20
Genesis 18-23
"Is any thing too hard for the Lord"

Materials: "Abraham and Isaac" Video on youtube (link below)
Opening Song: "Tis' sweet to sing the matchless love" (Hymns, 177)
Opening Prayer:
Scripture:
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”



Attention Activity: 

Tell the following story to your family:

 Tyler had always wanted a toy drone to play with. He had seen the other kids his age play with their drones and had longed for one of his very own. His friends would let him come over from time to time to play but it wasn't the same because he could never take it home. Then, on his birthday, Tyler opened a special gift from his parents--his own drone. It was so cool. It could fly very far and high without loosing range, and it even took pictures. His drone had been worth waiting for; it was a lot nicer than he could have imagined. 


A few weeks after his birthday, his mom picked him up from school. He could tell she had been crying. She told Tyler that his aunt and uncle's home had burned down the night before. Everyone was safe but his aunt, uncle, and cousins had lost everything. They had no clothes, or toys, or house. Tyler felt very sad for his cousins. His family decided to put together boxes of things that they could give their cousins. Tyler went through his clothes and picked out several that could fit his cousin, Greg. Tyler also put some legos, stuffed animals, and action figures in the box for Greg. He thought about Greg's last visit a few days after Tyler's birthday. He and Greg had flown his drone together all day long. Greg had such a big smile on his face that day. Reluctantly, Tyler took his drone off the shelf and put it into the box to give to Greg. 

As Tyler's mom was loading the boxes into the car, she noticed Tyler's drone tucked into the box. She took it out and her eyes filled with tears. She was touched by Tyler's selfless sacrifice and love for his cousin. Before she took the boxes to her sister's house, she went to the store and bought another drone to give to Greg. She told Tyler that because he was willing to sacrifice his most prized possession, she had decided to buy Greg his own drone. Tyler gave his mother a big hug. He was excited that Greg and he would each have their own drone to play with. Tyler was so happy he made his decision to think of Greg before himself. 

Lesson:

Today we are going to talk about sacrifice. From the days of Adam and Eve, Heavenly Father commanded people to offer animal sacrifices to the Lord as a way to repent for their sins. This was because Christ had not come to earth yet. Abraham the prophet and his family faithfully offered sacrifices to the Lord. 

Last week, we learned Abraham made a covenant with Abraham. Part of the promise was Abraham would have many descendants, and that his wife Sarahi, who was very old, would have a child. She did a have a child, a son called, Isaac. 

Activity:

Watch the video below about Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac starting from the timestamp 13:21 to the end. 



Why would the Lord ask Abraham to sacrifice his son? The Lord wanted to test Abraham's obedience. He wanted to see if Abraham was willing to give up the one thing he had waited so long for--a son. The Lord also wanted to show Abraham that he was a devoted and righteous servant of the Lord. Abraham's sacrifice to Isaac was also meant to teach the world about Heavenly Father's sacrifice of His son, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ was the ultimate sacrifice.

Today, we no longer offer animal sacrifices, but we are still asked to keep the Law of Sacrifice. When Jesus visited the Americas, he told the Nephites the commandment for animal scarifies was over. In 3 Nephi 9:20 it says, "And ye shall offer for a sacrifice unto me a broken heart and a contrite spirit." This means we need to be humble and receive the will of God and the council of his prophets. 

When we enter the holy temple to receive the endowment, we make a covenant with God to keep the law of sacrifice "doing all we can to support the Lord’s work and repenting with a broken heart and contrite spirit" ("About the Endowment," churchofjesuschrist.org/temples).

What are you willing to sacrifice for Heavenly Father? Could we sacrifice more time by working on our church callings, attending the temple, or studying the scriptures. Could we sacrifice our worldly possessions by giving to charity? Could we show more humility and love towards our family members?

Bear your testimony of the Law of Sacrifice.

Lesson 7: Gen. 12-17; Abr. 1-2

 February 7-13
Genesis 12-17; Abraham 1-2
"To be a greater of righteousness"

Materials: a posterboard or whiteboard, card printouts (see below), tape
Opening Song: "Follow the prophet" verse 4: Abraham (Children's Songbook, 110)
Opening Prayer:

Attention Activity: Bring up a member of your family tell them to hold out their hand for a pinky promise. What is a pinky promise mean? A promise is a commitment to do or not do something. What is it called when we make a promise with the Lord? It is called a covenant.

Lesson:

We know that a covenant is a sacred promise you make with Heavenly Father. We make our first covenant when we are baptized. In Old Testament times, a covenant was actually more than just  a promise. A covenant is a relationship of trust with God. God trusts you to keep the commandments and you trust him to bless you. 

Abraham was a prophet who desired to be in a covenant relationship with God. He wanted to be a "follower of righteousness" and tried very hard to be good (Abr. 1:2). God loved Abraham and was pleased with him. The Lord made a special covenant with Abraham called the Abrahamic Covenant or sometimes just called The Covenant. 

Even though God made this covenant with Abraham, it affects the whole world. It has special meaning for us because we receive blessings because of the Abrahamic Covenant. 

"Abraham on the Plains of Mamre" is by Grant Romney Clawson

Activity: Abrahamic Covenant Sort

Before FHE, print and cut out the cards below. Take a poster board or white board and split it into 3 categories. Color coat and label these categories: the promised land, the promise of descendants, the promise of blessings and redemption. Each family member will take turns reading each card and then placing it in it's corresponding category. 





The Lord blessed Abraham with some pretty wonderful promises and these promises apply to us as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. When we look at the promises Heavenly Father blessed Abraham with, think about how they can apply to you. 

The promised land for Abraham was an actually piece of property where his children and grandchildren could grow up. We also believe in a promised land. Last year, we learned that Zion will one day be built in Jackson County Missouri, so that is a promised land. Also, in Come Follow Me For Individuals and Families it says, "When you read about the promise of a land of inheritance, don’t think just about the land promised to Abraham. Think also about the celestial destiny of the earth itself—an inheritance promised to the 'meek' who 'wait upon the Lord'" ("Thoughts to Keep in Mind: The Covenant," pg. 28).

The promise of descendants also can mean a great deal to us a members of the church. We believe the power of families and seek to multiply and replenish the earth. We know that families are essential to God's plan. God has promised us that families can be eternal and we can continue to grow our families in the celestial kingdom. 

The promise of blessings and redemption is an essential part of the Abrahamic Covenant. We not only can receive blessings of God but also, be a blessing from God to others. The priesthood and the blessings of temple are part of the Abrahamic Covenant. As we preach the gospel and do temple work we can be part of the Abrahamic Covenant as we bless others by helping them come unto Christ. 

Read Abraham 2:10. When you choose to be baptized you are become a member of the family of Abraham and are able to receive the blessings of the Abrahamic Covenant. When you are ready (usually in your teenage or young adult years) you will be able to receive your patriarchal blessing. This blessing is special because it tells you what Abrahamic tribe you belong to. Each tribe is blessed with specific talents from the Lord to help in the Kingdom of God. 

Bear your testimony of the Abrahamic Covenant and possibly how the knowledge from your patriarchal blessing has been a blessing to you.

Lesson 6: Genesis 6-11; Moses 8

 January 31-February 6
Genesis 6-11; Moses 8
"Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord"

Materials: video, link below, Quote page (printed and cut out), tin foil, markers, cardboard, popsicle sticks
Opening Song: "Follow the prophet" verse 3 (Children's Songbook, 110)
Opening Prayer:

Attention Activity: Play the video below and sing along to the "Arky, Arky" song



Lesson:

 The people of Noah's day had become very wicked. Noah repeatedly had asked the people to repent and the mocked him and did not listen to his council and repent. The Lord said he would destroy the people with a flood. Because Noah and his family were righteous, they were spared from the destruction. Noah built an ark or large boat as commanded by the Lord. What did Noah bring on the ark? Noah, like Adam before him, had stewardship over the animals. The Lord wanted the animals and Noah's family to be safe and sheltered from the storm. 



Noah's ark has been depicted in books, television, movies, and toys. A vast majority of the Earth knows the story. But what can we learn from Noah? 

The scriptures and modern prophets suggest that we can learn from the story by likening the ark to places of spiritual safety. What are places that offer spiritual safety? In 2nd Nephi 9 :7-13, Nephi speaks of the safety we can find in the Atonement of Jesus Christ. His grace is like the ultimate Noah's ark, saving us again and again from our own mistakes. In D&C 115, we read that our stakes and wards can be "refuges from the storm." Lastly, President Nelson has stated that the temple can be a place of spiritual safety as we make and keep sacred covenants ("Becoming Exemplary Latter-day Saints" General Conference, October 2018).

From Noah's story, we can definitely learn to "follow the prophet" as the primary song suggests; we can listen to his council and repent. What is some counsel that President Nelson has given us recently?

Activity: Boats and Quotes

Directions: Before FHE gather the following items: tin foil, popsicle sticks, cardboard, makers, and printed and cut out quotes from below. Using the foil and other items, have each family member create a small boat. Next, place a cut out quote from President Nelson and place it inside the boat. Put the boats into a sink or bathtub filled with water and watch how they float! (Options: make it a contest, you can see which quote gets the least wet when put into the water. You could also load the boats up with small toys like lego mini figures or small animals; whoever can fit the most on their boat before it sinks, wins!)





Optional Activity: If you have a Disney+ account, you can watch Disney's version of Noah's ark in Fantasia 2000, starring Donald and Daisy Duck. 

Bear your testimony.

Lesson 9: D&C 18-19

 February 22-28
D&C 18-19
"The worth of souls is great" 

Materials: Picture of Christ, scriptures, gospel music app, optional: hymn books and children's songbook.
Opening Song: "I'm trying to be like Jesus" (Children's Songbook, 78)
Opening Prayer:

Attention Activity:

Ask a family member to share their favorite scripture story about Jesus. 

Lesson:

**Before you start the lesson, display your favorite picture(s) of Christ.



After Martin Harris lost the 116 pages of the manuscript,  he was distraught. He sought repentance and wanted to know what his current standing was with the Lord. Christ gave a revelation to Martin Harris through Joseph Smith in response to Martin's question. In section 19, we read that the Lord tells Martin Harris to repent. As He speaks of the importance of repentance; He talks of the atonement. Jesus Christ describes His suffering in Gethsemane in His own words. 

As we read Christ's description of the atonement, think about phrases that send out to you. Read D&C 19:15-20. What stands out to you in those verses?

Christ loves us so much that he took upon himself the pain of all our sins, weakness, and afflictions. He knows our every heartache, our every pang of guilt, and our every sore. He suffered all so that we wouldn't have to suffer for our sins in the hereafter. He does not want us to have to suffer as He did. The only thing keeping us from the torment of feeling the depth of our own sins is repentance. Repentance is the key. He enabled us to repent so that we would be worthy to enter into the kingdom of God. 

Activity: Sing of Christ.

Directions: Using the gospel music app, hymn books, and the children's songbook, have everyone choose their favorite hymn or primary song about the Savior. Each person will take a turn explaining why that song is important to them and then the family should sing at least one verse.  

After you have sang a song per family member, ask your family if they have any thoughts they would like to share about Christ. Remind your family we can show our gratitude for Christ's atonement through repentance. As you kneel down to say your personal prayers, ask Heavenly Father for forgiveness for things you have done wrong.

Lesson 8: D&C 14-17

 February 15-21
Doctrine and Covenants 14-17
"Stand as a witness"

Materials: a bag, paper and art supplies, scriptures, video (optional) 
Opening Song: "The Golden Plates" (Children's Songbook, 86b)
Opening Prayer:

Attention Activity:

Witness Game: Explain that you will ask a family member to leave the room. When that person is gone the rest of the family will choose something to put into a bag. The family member will return and have to make a guess at what was in the bag. 

While the family member is out of the room, explain that one person will be lying and the rest of the family will tell the truth and stand as a witnesses to what it is in the bag. When the family  member returns they can choose to listen to the witnesses or not.

After the game, explain that the world uses witnesses to testify of the truth. In court, witnesses are called to testify about what they saw or heard in a case. Heavenly Father has also used witnesses to testify of the truth of his gospel. 

Lesson:

Can you think of a time that witnesses are used by the Lord? (baptisms, temple ordinances, missionaries, the witnesses to The Book of Mormon) Why does the Lord use witnesses? Read 2 Corinthians 13:1. After the translation of the gold plates was complete, Heavenly Father gave permission to three special men to be witnesses of The Book of Mormon. These men were Martin Harris, Oliver Cowdery, and David Whitmer. As a family read together the introduction to Section 17. 


Activity: Draw it out

Directions: Have paper and art supplies set out for your family. While a family member reads D&C 17 and "The Testimony of the Three Witnesses", have everyone draw a picture of what they read. It may help to make a list of everything the witnesses saw. Have your family members share their pictures.

Why was it so important for the witnesses to see the gold plates? Why was it also important that the breastplate and the Urim and Thummim were also shown to the witnesses? The sword of Laban was perhaps the item most out of place at the scene. But it also could be seen as a testament to the truth of the writings in The Book of Mormon, that the events described in the book are in fact historical. 

Over time, other witnesses were eventually added to the list of witnesses to the gold plates. These include the eight men who penned "The Testimony of the Eight Witnesses," which comprised of Joseph's brothers and father, as well as more members of the Whitmer family, and Hiram Page. Mary Whitmer was also shown the plates by the angel Moroni although she never wrote an official statement. (Emma felt the plates through a tablecloth that Joseph wrapped them in, but never saw them). 

We've now learned that their were at least 13 people who saw the gold plates. 12 stood as witnesses to the plates divine authenticity. How can you be a witness to The Book of Mormon? How can we be witnesses for the Lord?

As we try to emulate Christ's example and bear our testimonies of His church, we can act as His witnesses. Bear your testimony.
