Hebrews 11 has got to be one of the most powerful chapters in all of
the scriptures about faith. Verse 1 is the very definition of faith as
we've heard it most of our lives. This week's activity is focusing on
those "Faith Heroes" that are spotlighted in chapter 11. I hope you
feel inspired as you read more about them and think of who you would add
to that list of Faith Heroes. The older I get the more I realize how
deliberate faith is. It's not just about keeping the commandments, but
about making time for Christ in the midst of our daily distractions and
busyness. And I believe we live in a more distracted age than any
other on earth. I also believe that this is why "Come, Follow Me" for
individuals and families has come along when it has. It's like a guide
for deepening our faith.
Hope your family/classes are enjoying these Come, Follow Me activity sheets. They make for a great quiet activity in sacrament meeting or as a discussion starter for older kids in your family or class. Have a great week!

“Because of the conflicts and challenges we face in today’s world, I wish to suggest a single choice—a choice of peace and protection and a choice that is appropriate for all. That choice is faith. Be aware that faith is not a free gift given without thought, desire, or effort. It does not come as the dew falls from heaven. The Savior said, “Come unto me” (Matthew 11:28) and “Knock, and it shall be [given] you” (Matthew 7:7). These are action verbs—come, knock. They are choices. So I say, choose faith. Choose faith over doubt, choose faith over fear, choose faith over the unknown and the unseen, and choose faith over pessimism.” Richard C. Edgley (Faith: The Choice is Yours)
