FW: Daily Gems: Teaching Children about Christ

>
> "Children are open to gospel truths more than at any other time, and
> protected childhood is literally a once-in-a-lifetime
> opportunity to teach and strengthen children to choose the
> right.
> "It's easy to know what to teach. The scriptures and our
> prophets are clear about what to teach our children. Nephi summarizes it
> in
> this verse, 'And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of
> Christ, we prophesy of Christ . . . that our children may know to what
> source they may look for a remission of their sins' (2 Nephi
> 25:26).
> "Knowing that we teach of Christ and His gospel, how do we
> do it? Begin by following the counsel of our prophets and making time in
> our homes for family prayer, scripture study, and family home evening.
> Have
> we heard that counsel so often that it seems too simple? Or are we so busy
> that adding one more thing feels too complex? I testify that even when our
> family worship seems less than effective, obedience alone invites the
> blessings of the Lord."
> Topics: children, teaching, prayer, family
> home evening, Jesus Christ, plan of salvation, revelation, answers to
> prayers
>
> (Margaret S. Lifferth, "Behold Your Little Ones," Ensign, Nov. 2006,
