Family Home Evening

Monday nights are reserved for Family Home Evening in our church. Church leaders have instructed members to set aside Monday night as "family home evening." This is a time for families to study the gospel together and to do other activities that strengthen the family spiritually, create family memories, and increase unity and love. Well, we haven't been so good at doing FHE in a very long time. Honestly we have only had FHE twice, in Longview. Now with the new year and a new sunbeam we decided to make it our priority every Monday, starting with today. I finally realized it doesn't have to be super long with a lot of fun activites. As long as we read at least one scripture and give her a simple gospel message I feel we have succeeded. I hope she will soon come to ask if today is FHE just as she asks if today is school, ballet, or church. I want it to become a weekly routine for her growing up and to have memories from just as her daddy has memories of his FHE as a child.

Today she learned she is a child of God. I had made a special handout for her. At the end of the lesson I gave her this to color. She was super excited and instantly sat down to color.
