Family Home Evening

Tonight we had a great Family Home Evening. It's at times like tonight that I am so grateful to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I am grateful for Family Home Evening, a specific time set aside to be together as a family, to strengthen our relationships and to learn more about the gospel. We had a great lesson and then spent time on a Thanksgiving activity. We made a turkey by tracing the kids feet and hands. The feet became the body of the turkey and the hands were the feathers.


We ended FHE with a family prayer in behalf of Luke's Grandma Turner who is in the hospital in critical condition. It's at critical times like these that we realize how important God is in our lives. He loves us and has a plan for us. I'm grateful for the Priesthood that has been restored to the earth. I'm grateful for the ordinances that are performed through the Priesthood. I know that we can be sealed in temples through the Priesthood making it possible for us to live with our families through all eternity if we live worthy, righteous lives. Grandma Turner is a great example of righteous living. She has faith in Jesus Christ and has taught all of her children this same faith which has been passed down to the next generations. I'm very grateful for that! We take great comfort through the gospel at challenging times and I feel very blessed to be a member of it. We will pray for the best to help and comfort Grandma and all family members as she goes through these challenges. We love you Grandma!
