Lesson:
Scripture Story: Noah and the Ark [Genesis 6:12–21; 7:2–11; 8]
Show a picture of Noah and the Ark (GAK 102, 103) and discuss what
was needed in order to prepare the Ark. What did Noah have to
gather?
Noah made sure he had seeds of every kind to plant them in the new
land to bring forth food for them to eat. He made sure he had two
animals of every kind, both male and female, so they were not
destroyed. He also made sure there was food for not only his family
but also the animals. This was not an easy task.
Quote: President Ezra Taft Benson relates the importance of our food
storage to Noah’s time:
Q&A
Why would having our food storage be so important to us now?
What have we been asked to have in our food storage?
Prayer:
Treat: Try the Devil’s Food Cake mix cookies. Just add any
chocolate chips, nuts, or M&M’s and enjoy!
(Note: This is so easy to make and you are using your food
storage too!)
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Beat half of the dry mix, the butter, vanilla
and eggs in large bowl on medium speed until smooth. Stir in remaining
cake mix, the nuts and chocolate chips. Drop dough by rounded
teaspoonfuls (about 2 inches apart) onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake
10-12 minutes.
Gordon B. Hinckley
“The best place to have some food set aside is within our homes, together with a little
money in savings. The best welfare program is our own welfare program. Five or six
cans of wheat in the home are better than a bushel in the welfare granary. …
“We can begin with a one week’s food supply and gradually build it to a month, and then
to three months. I am speaking now of food to cover basic needs” (“To Men of the
Priesthood,” Ensign, Nov. 2002, 58).
Spencer W. Kimball
“We encourage you to grow all the food that you feasibly can on your own property.
Berry bushes, grapevines, fruit trees—plant them if your climate is right for their growth.
Grow vegetables and eat them from your own yard. Even those residing in apartments
or condominiums can generally grow a little food in pots and planters. … Make your
garden as neat and attractive as well as productive. If there are children in your home,
involve them in the process with assigned responsibilities” (“Family Preparedness,”
Ensign, May 1976, 124).
Harold B. Lee
“We expect the individual to do all he can to help himself, whether it be an emergency
for a single family or for a whole community, that the relatives will do all they can to help,
then the Church steps in with commodities from the storehouse, with fast offerings to
meet their needs that commodities from the storehouse will not supply, and finally, the
Relief Society and the priesthood quorums will assist with rehabilitation” (Teachings of
Presidents of the Church: Harold B. Lee [2000], 171).
“[The pioneers] were taught by their leaders to produce, as far as possible, all that they
consumed, and to be frugal and not wasteful of their substance. This is still excellent
counsel” (“The Pioneer Spirit,” Improvement Era, July 1970, 3).
“How on the face of the earth could a man enjoy his religion when he had been told by
the Lord how to prepare for a day of famine, when instead of doing so he had fooled
away that which would have sustained him and his family” (Deseret News, Mar. 4, 1868,
26).
