FHE-Daniel and the Lion's Den

Family Home Evening-
Daniel and The Lion’s Den
Supplies: Lion of some sort...picture, stuffed animal, plastic or wooden figure, toy

Lesson:

There was a new king in Babylon. His name was Darius. The king chose some men to help him. Daniel was their leader. The other men did not like Daniel. They wanted to find a way to get rid of him, but they could not find anything that Daniel did wrong because Daniel was faithful to God. The wicked men knew that Daniel prayed to God. They went to the king to have him make a new law. The new law said people could not pray to God. People who did not obey the law would be put into the lion’s den and the lions would eat them. But Daniel was obedient to God and still prayed three times a day. One day the wicked men caught Daniel praying and told King Darius. King Darius knew that Daniel had to be put in the lion’s den. The law could not be changed, so the king commanded that Daniel be put into the lion’s den. The king told Daniel that God would save him. The king fasted all night. He could not sleep. The next morning the king went to the lion’s den and called out to Daniel. Daniel answered. The lions had not hurt him. God had sent his angel down to shut the mouths of the lions. The king was very happy because God had helped Daniel.
Daniel 5, 6

FHE- Starter Kit & Let Your Light Shine

Hello,

I know many people struggle with coming up with something to do for Family Home Evening. A lady in our ward has this Family Home Evening Kit that she has short one page lessons of Bible, Book of Mormon, and other stories for you to share with a lesson. I will post these lessons periodically to help you in planning your family nights. I will try to post them at least once a week in case you want to start doing this weekly. Some of these are really simple and perfect for younger children with really short attention spans!

FHE Lesson-Let Your Light Shine!

Let Your Light Shine
(Small Votive Candle)
Just as a candle can light up a dark room, you can be a light to help others by being a good example, sharing your talents and noticing ways to serve those in need.

Jesus taught:
“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.”
“Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick, and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.”

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.”

Jesus was a good example to us and showed us the things we need to do to be happy and to be able to return to live with our Heavenly Father. It is important, even though you may be small, to help others by letting your light shine.
Matthew 5: 14-16
