The theme of our sacrament meeting on Sunday was all about the Restoration, so in continuing with the things we learned yesterday we decided to have our family home evening lesson tonight about the First Vision.
My kids are all old enough that they know the story of Joseph Smith's experiences very well, so we decided that instead of reviewing what happened, that we would discuss some of the life lessons that we can learn from the First Vision. It turned out to be a powerful and enlightening discussion that engaged the whole family, so I thought I'd share some of our insights here, mostly just so that we don't forget them.
Life Lessons We Can Learn from the First Vision
1. That God hears and answers our prayers.
2. Discouragement and negativity come from Satan.
3. That God's power is stronger than Satan's.
4. That we will never be tempted or tried beyond that which we are able to bear.
5. God will always be with us, especially in our darkest moments.
6. That we don't need to be well-educated or wealthy to make a difference in the world.
7. God loves us and knows us by name.
