Faith

Today I am teaching the kids ages 8-12 about faith. One of the suggestions in the manual is to tell some stories from the scriptures about somebody who showed faith. One of the stories it recommended was about the 2000 stripling warriors. I love this story. If you haven't read it in a while, I recommend it. These young men were born into families of faith. Their fathers had covenanted not to go to war and use weapons ever again and their mothers had taught them to have faith. When their fathers were in a position requiring that they might break their covenant, these young men offered to go to war so their fathers wouldn't have to fight. They went forth with courage and faith and fought with strength.

If that isn't an example of faithful families I don't know what is.
