Note: this week contains March 4th, which is Stripling Warrior Day!
Song
The Spirit of God (Hymns #2)
Scripture
Lesson
- The covenant God made with Abraham was intended to continue through many generations, so Abraham and Sarah’s legacy of covenant keeping would need to be passed down to Isaac, Jacob, and other faithful women and men among their posterity.
- What are some of the blessings from the covenant?
- What do we learn about God from these verses?
- These blessings will be passed down to us as we are baptized and adopted in Abraham’s family (if we aren’t already born into it).
- Show your family ladder or a photo if you don’t have one.
- Talk about how our covenants are like a ladder. Each builds on the others allowing us to make it closer to Christ.

Tuesday Devotional
Song
Choose the Right (Hymns #239)
Scripture
Discussion
- Rebekah had twin boys named Esau (the older one) and Jacob. In those days, the oldest boy inherited all of the father’s land, money, and even blessings from the Lord. This was called the birthright.
- Why Esau might have been willing to give up his birthright in exchange for a meal?
- How does this story apply to us? Are there things we want now for which we are willing to give up our blessings later?
- Later on, Isaac was very old and went to give the birthright blessings. Rachel helped Jacob trick Isaac into giving him the blessing for the oldest child instead of Esau.
Journal Entry

Thursday Devotional
Song
Follow the Prophet (Children’s #110) verse 4
Scripture
Discussion
- Jacob loved Rachel and worked for her father for seven years before he was allowed to marry her.
- Leah was the older sister, and Laban switched Rachel and Leah at the wedding.
- Jacob loved Rachel so much, he worked for another seven years so he could marry her as well.
- It may seem weird that he had more than one wife (polygamy), but in those days it was allowed. This was one way that the promises to have lots of children was fulfilled.
- What do we learn about love and marriage from these verses? (Hard work, important to marry in the covenant, etc.)
- Even though Rachel and Leah lived in a time and culture different from ours, we can all understand some of the feelings they had.
- Rachel was sad she could not have any children. Leah was sad that her husband loved Rachel more.
- It is also important to remember that even though God hears us, in His wisdom He doesn’t always give us exactly what we ask for.
- How has God looked on us and remembered us in our afflictions?

- Why is “wrestling” a good way to describe seeking blessings from the Lord?
- What do Enos 1:1–5; Alma 8:9–10 suggest about what it means to “wrestle … before God”?
- Jacob wrestling with the Lord and getting a new name (Israel) is symbolic of making covenants.
- After many years of hard feelings, Jacob and Esau were reunited.
- If Jacob and Esau could talk to us today, what might they say to help us when there is contention in our family?

I am SOOOOOOOOO grateful I found you website/blog!!! It has been SUCH a blessing to our family. We have used CFM since it was introduced, and some of my kids are definitely more engaged than others. This is a WONDERFUL gathering of pure scripture and insightful questions and discussion ideas. The time you have devoted to gathering from old Friend magazines and other online resources is EXACTLY what I need and don’t really know how to do without feeling really overwhelmed. Thank you SOOOOO much for doing the ‘leg work’. We are using the puzzles, mazes, etc., in our home in the evenings WITH the scriptures, and to help during Sacrament Meeting and on Sundays. You have done an AMAZING thing and I am SOOOO grateful.
Oh wow, thank you so much for this comment!! It always makes us happy when we know the work is helping others.
