FHE - Reverence

For a while, it seemed like we were slacking with the quality of our FHE's. Lately, we have been doing much better. Tonight, Tyler was doing the lesson. I'm trying to make all our FHE's for the next 6 months center around the talks given during General Conference. I figure this way, we won't forget what was said to us and hopefully remember to do the things that were taught to us. Anyhow, one of the talks was on 'reverence'. When I listened to that talk, I felt like our family needed a review on reverence. Our kids are a little older, and I feel there's more meaning to be taught, it's not just sitting quiet. Tyler prepared his lesson. In trying to complete requirements for his Religious Knot, he created a story about reverence that he shared during his lesson. He did such a great job with it.

He explained the meaning of reverence, shared a story and then had everyone color a picture that portrayed it. When we were done coloring, he put them on the door so that we can see the pictures and be reminded to be reverent when we leave for church. He did think of this lesson almost by himself. I did help him a little. The Spirit could be felt. It was one of the moments that as a parent you say, "Ok, it is worth it." While we were coloring, the kids were singing primary songs. It was a moment I had to blog about. Mind you, our FHE's are NOT like this all the time. We are just as imperfect as everyone else out there.



We ended with refreshments by Kara. She chose s'mores. If you don't know what to do with left over chocolate from the holidays, here's what I did. We took all the chocolate eggs and used it in the s'mores we made. Worked just perfectly! Just wanted to share our FHE ideas.
