by: AT in MN star5mn@yahoo.com Lesson 8 - I focused on first 3 paragraphs of the family
proclamation. I really like using the resource guide for helps and inspiration
too.
In a nut shell: We reviews these paragraphs and will break it down a little and discuss.
1. Paragraph 3 - "In the premortal realm, spirit sons and daughters knew and
worshipped God...and accepted His plan by....
* In heaven we learned of God plan, that earth is a test, and if we are faithful and
worthy in this life we will receive greater blessing.
2. Paragraph 2 -" All human beings, male and female are created in the image of God.
Each is a beloved spirit...daughter of Heavenly Parents, and as such each has a divine
nature and destiny..." Psalm 8:1 3-6, 9
Have you ever thought of yourself as a junior angel crowned with the glory and honor?
Discussion: Everyone is great in the sight of Heavenly Father. We all have talents
and abilities and shouldn't compare ourselves to each other.
Important to understand where you come from. Keep clean to go worthy to go to
temple.
3. Paragraph 1 - ...Marriage between a man and woman is ordained of God and that the
family is central to the Creators plan for the eternal destiny of his children.
Marriage is ordained of God
Discussion: Importance of eternal family units.
Paragraph 3 of proclamation: "Sacred ordinances and covenants available in holy
temples make it possible for individuals to return to the presence of God and for families
to be united eternally.
Discussion: Eternal family life can be obtained only in temples.
