Family Home Evening

In our church, Monday night is set aside as a night for family; we call it Family Home Evening. Normally it's a night where we have a song, prayer, gospel lesson and - of course - a treat. It's a time for the family to connect and spend time together. 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 (from lds.org). Sometimes we just have a fun activity. Tonight we decided to go strawberry picking.
 
 
 
 
  
 
We had a lot of fun. I've already put up freezer jam and made a strawberry pie. Yum!

For a peek at a more traditional home evening, you can check out the video below.

I'm still laughing. I've never seen actions to testimonies. What great parents you are. I cannot ask for more of my children than they teach my grandchildren the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to love one another. How wonderful our Father in Heaven's plan is to put us on earth in families. I love all of mine.
