Lessons from 1 Nephi 1:14-15

1 Nephi 1:14-15

The phrase that really struck me in these verses was, "his soul did rejoice, and his whole heart was filled, because of the things which he had seen." Keep in mind that this fullness of joy is being described, not by Lehi, but by his son.

Do our children know how happy the gospel makes us? Do they occasionally see us "praise our God" when we have spiritual experiences and find our hearts filled?

* Make sure your children know that the things of God bring you joy -- true joy. Let them see how happy you are, and help them make the connection so they know that the happiness comes from God.
