I'm going to focus on one verse or phrase from The Book of Mormon each day with my kids at our family morning prayer. Find the list here...

1 Nephi 1:14
"...(God), thy power, and goodness, and mercy are over ALL the inhabitants of the earth;..."
Every person that has lived on earth, is living now, or is yet to be born, is one of God's spirit children. We are Jesus' brothers and sisters! Heavenly Father and our Heavenly Mother love each of us and want us to live in a way that they can bless us with the ability to live with them and our other spirit siblings forever in peace and joy.
God has the ability to help us overcome the struggles of this world through His son and our brother, Jesus. Jesus atoned for the sins of each of us. I don't know how he did it, yet I know that He died and lived again so that each of us could come back home. This earthly journey is not where we began or where we will end up. God is full of goodness and mercy and will give us every opportunity to repent, improve, and TRY to follow his commandments. The Savior showed us how. We do not have to be perfect(video) while on this earth. It is only through our Savior's mercy and grace that we will eventually be made perfect (complete).
? What are some ways that God has been merciful or good in your life?
! In the evening, share with each other... examples of God's power, mercy and goodness that you were blessed to witness today!
Pray Tell God about your experiences and thank Him for... His generous mercy and goodness, and for helping us come back to Him and our Heavenly Mother.
Hugs,
Sheree
