FHE, 8/19

Lesson Three: The Gospel in Our Daily Lives

Enjoyed a nice evening with my family. It's always a challenge to contour lessons for both my older and younger children at the same time. This FHE lesson was good in that I was able to ask each child for feedback in turn. And by including everyone, I was able to keep most of their attention. It also helped that we used strawberry pie as our object lesson (because we had already eaten dinner).

For your convenience, I have included a printout of the wordstrips referred to in the lesson.

I am holding on to the promise that if we are consistent with holding family home evening (FHE), that our families will be blessed, even when my children don't seem to be paying attention. And these days especially, families can use all the blessings we can get!

Living the gospel is a way of life. Just like the slices of strawberry pie on our table, the gospel principles hold the promise of good things, but only if we partake of them. And though imperfectly, my family and I will continue to strive to obtain the happiness that comes from living the gospel.

Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
