Family Home Evening


One of our New Year's resolutions is to be more diligent about holding weekly Family Home Evening. Last night we had the missionaries over for dinner and family home evening. Our lesson was on Eternal Families. Kaitlyn played "I Love To See The Temple" on the piano, while we sang slowly to keep with her pace. We also looked back at the scrapbook page we made for the day we were sealed together. It brought back a lot of memories. My sweet baby girls were so little. Oh, how quickly they grow. It was a nice reminder that I need to relish each day with them. We only have a few short years to raise them. It is such a comfort to know that we will never be apart, even after death. I am so thankful to live in a dispensation when the sealing keys are available to us. We are so lucky.

From LDS.org:
"Temples are literally houses of the Lord. They are holy places of worship where individuals make sacred covenants with God. Because making covenants with God is such a solemn responsibility, individuals cannot enter the temple to receive theirendowments or be sealed in marriage for eternity until they have fully prepared themselves and been members of the Church for at least a year. Throughout history, the Lord has commanded His people to build temples. The Church is working to build temples all over the world to make temple blessings more available for a greater number of Heavenly Father's children."

I'd love to hear your feedback and comments. I'd also love and suggestions to help me perfect my skills as I develop them. Have a question? I'll try to answer it for you right away.

The only think I ask is that negativity not be posted. You know that old saying your mother probably taught you? "If you don't have something nice to say, then don't say anything at all!"
