Preach My Gospel, Lesson 1, Heading 2 “The Gospel Blesses Families”
The Gospel Blesses Families
 ote: Our 7-year-old son prepared this lesson with some help from Daddy. All of the stories werechosen by him. Also the format is a little simpler than mine last week, since he will be teaching the lesson himself.
☺ 
 
Preparation:
Obtain a copy of “The Family: A Proclamation to the World”. Also get a picture of Jesus Blessing the Children (GAK 216).
 
Story from
Friend
 , April 2005, inside front cover “Heavenly Father Protected Us”:
(Russell has been encouraged to tell this story in his own words.)
The sign says, “Caution: Icy Bridge Deck.” It stands next to the big concrete bridge over the Athabasca River in the center of Fort McMurray, Alberta,Canada, where I live. Our city is in northern Canada, where the roads arecovered with ice and snow for six months of the year and driving can bedangerous.One day, just as we passed the warning sign, our truck started sliding out ofcontrol. My mom prayed out loud, “Heavenly Father, please help us!” Our truckspun around on the bridge until its nose banged hard into one of the gray walls.We stopped with a jerk, and I accidentally bit my tongue.“We’re OK,” Mom said as she patted my leg.“Heavenly Father protected us. Look—it didn’t even wake Nathan (my little brother).” Although the truck had crashed, and my tongue was sore, I knew thatMom was right. Even though the bridge was slippery, the cars behind us wereable to stop without bumping into us. The wall of the bridge stayed strong andkept us from falling into the frozen river. The truck’s shiny metal bumper wascrumpled, but the truck still worked fine. We got home safely, just like we’dprayed that morning before we left the house.How was this family blessed by the gospel? (by keeping them safe when themom prayed)Can anyone think of a story from the scriptures about the gospel blessing afamily?
