The Wise Man and Foolish Man

 This is one of my favorite songs.


Sing Along

March 9-15 (Jacob 1-4), "Come, Follow Me: Book of Mormon"

September 21–27 (3 Nephi 12–16), "Come, Follow Me: Book of Mormon"

The Wise Man and Foolish Man” (Children’s Songbook, 281)


Built on the Rock

In the Come, Follow Me, 3 Nephi 12-16, for September 21-27, one part talks about the wise man and the foolish man. Here is a poster and article I found that goes perfectly for the lesson.

"Even if you feel like a small pebble dropped into a big pond, your choices create eternal ripples. Make a splash by choosing the right." (See 3 Nephi 12:14–16.)

Stay in the Scriptures

 Here is another quote by Elder Holland.

“Stay in the scriptures.” (Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, “Face to Face with President Eyring and Elder Holland”) The image was created by Jenae Nelson.

Article Faith 8 states "We believe the Bible to be the bword of God as far as it is translated ccorrectly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God."

Fourth Floor, Last Door

God “rewards those who earnestly seek him,” so we need to keep knocking. Sisters, don’t give up. Seek God with all your heart. 

...Again, no one would listen. The third floor was the same. And so was the fourth—that is, until they knocked on the last door of the fourth floor. When that door opened, a young girl smiled at them and asked them to wait while she spoke with her mother.

The story goes on. The young woman that answered the door was Harriet. Dieter F. Uchtdorf married Harriet years later. You can read more of the story.

Our Own Liahona

In the talk Our Own Liahona given by President Spencer W. Kimball, he talks about Nephi and his brothers This talk fits perfectly with the Come, Follow Me - Book of Mormon 2020 in the lesson 1 Nephi 16-22.

Jesus Christ

I posted the following on my Facebook account and thouoght I would share it on my blog too.

(Posted on Facebook on April 11, 2020)
I was reading at Come, Follow Me: Book of Mormon 2020 - February 10-6 (2 Nephi 6-10) the following, "...Nephites—“who believed in the warnings and the revelations of God”—and the Lamanites, who did not (2 Nephi 5:6). In these circumstances, Jacob, who was Nephi's younger brother and now ordained as a teacher for the Nephites, wanted the covenant people to know that God would never forget them, so they must never forget Him. This is a message we surely need in our own world, where covenants are belittled and revelation rejected. “Let us remember him, … for we are not cast off. … Great are the promises of the Lord,” he declared (2 Nephi 10:20–21)...

This is what I thought when I read the above. I typed the following down last night when it came into my mind. "God won’t forget us and we should not forget Him."  I guess I was suppose to read this lesson at this time (since there is a time for things to happen). He won't forget us. He will listen to our prayers. Our Savior, Jesus Christ prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane. We should take His example and pray to our Heavenly Father every day of our lives. He will hear the prayers of his people. He will answer those prayers. He will answer all the prayers of those that fasted for yesterday (even small children) that were sent to heaven from around the world. Continue to pray (even if you didn't have a chance to fast yesterday). A single prayer is worth everything. Remember Him. He loves you.
