I just want to shout to world and even to myself, when I am feeling tired or lazy, that "Family Home Evening (FHE) ROCKS!" We have diligently tried to make this short activity a part of our weekly routine over the past few years with a lot of success. We love it!
Family Home Evening is a special time set aside each week that brings family members together and strengthens their love for each other, helps them draw closer to Heavenly Father, and encourages them to live righteously. As parents, it gives us another opportunity to teach our children the principles of the gospel and usually includes a short lesson, fun activity, prayer and song. We love it and consider it VERY VALUABLE.
I love that we are teaching our kids what is important as a human being and a son or daughter of God, not just reinforcing academics taught at school (although we do that too). Our lessons are as short as our children's attention spans and we sometimes sing the ABC song as our opening song, but we are doing it and it is great. Our Sophie is asking better questions. We have opportunities to apply what we have learned to real life during the week. FHE, along with family scripture study and prayer keeps us learning, discussing, and living the gospel better everyday, not just Sundays.
I am truly thankful for this inspired program.
