Introduction for the Teacher To prepare yourself spiritually to
teach this lesson, please read and ponder the following: Each of
us is a child of God. The scriptures teach that “God created man
in his own image” (Genesis 1:27; see also Moses 2:26–27; Abraham
4:26–27). This means that our bodies are similar to His. The
Prophet Joseph Smith saw Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, and
he taught that “the Father has a body of flesh and bones as
tangible as man’s; the Son also” (D&C 130:22). Begin with a
gathering activity. For ideas, see page 3. Invite a child to
give the opening prayer. Sing the first verse of Repeat, and
invite the children to listen or sing with you. Tell them that
when we say “God” we mean Heavenly Father. Show the picture on
page 42. Briefly tell the story of Joseph Smith’s First Vision
to teach the children that Heavenly Father has a body like ours
(see Joseph Smith—History 1:17). Below is an example: When
Joseph Smith was a boy (point to Joseph in the picture), he
prayed to Heavenly Father.
