Elder Andersen asks, "Have our children felt the power of the Savior's miracles? Jesus healed the leper, gave sight to the blind. He fed the 5,000, calmed the sea, and raised Lazarus from the dead. Do our children believe that "it is by faith that miracles are wrought," and do they pray for miracles in their own life?"Start with opening prayer. Sing The Miracle found in “Christmas Carols,” Ensign, Dec. 1973, 10.
Almost every part of Jesus' life was a miracle, including His earthly beginning we are currently celebrating!
Review some of the miracles of His life by playing miracle charades. Some stories to act out could include:
healing the leper
giving sight to the blind
feeding 5,000
calming the sea
withers a barren fig tree
raising Lazarus from the dead
casting out devils
walking on water
turning water into wine
Memorize the following scripture, Moroni 7:37 "...For it is by faith that miracles are wrought..." Make a family sign to put on the refrigerator of this scripture -everyone can decorate with pictures of Jesus' miracles!
