“Blessed Are the Peacemakers”

FHE Lesson — “Blessed Are the Peacemakers”    Principle: Peacemaking

“The Savior said, ‘And blessed are all the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.” (3 Nephi 12:9). When I read that as a boy, I wondered about the promise. It didn’t sound like anything very glorious. But I see now that the promise is both glorious and sure. Those who will have eternal life are the children of God.” ~Henry B. Eyring 

Video Clip —  Pocahontas chapters 12-13

Does your family have the courage it takes to be peacemakers?

Except for the courage of Native American princess, POCAHONTAS, as shown in the clip from The Animated Hero Classics DVD, the English settlers at Jamestown in the early 17th century would have died. Her brave intervention saved lives and brought peace between two very different peoples.
