My Scripture Heroes
Sometimes when I read my scriptures, I wish I could have lived long ago. People back then had amazing adventures! As I live the gospel, maybe I’ll have my own adventures!
If I had lived in Noah’s time, I could have helped take care of the animals on the ark.
Or maybe I would have crossed the Red Sea on dry ground with Moses and the Israelites.
I would have cheered to see Daniel coming safely out of the lions’ den.
If I had been in Lehi’s family, I could have helped Nephi build the boat so that we could sail to the promised land.
If I had been a Nephite, I could have helped Captain Moroni wave the title of liberty.
If I had lived in Jesus’s time, I could have stood near Him to hear His teachings.
