Yesterday was an all around great day. Simple joys. It was a nice day spent mostly at home but one thing that stood out was helping Jessica and Sarah start their own "flower garden". Which means they each have a large pot with five or six flowering plants, with their own watering cans, on the front porch. Last night was also our Family Home Evening night. Lately we have been doing activities, eating out or going to the movies, but last night we had a lesson. I have decided for the next few weeks to do lessons based out of the book Standing For Something....10 Neglected Virtures That Will Heal Our Hearts and Homes by President Gordon B. Hinckley, our late prophet. The first virtue is love, or charity. I read an excerpt from the book, about Christ, told the younger ones some stories about Christ, talked about what being a disciple meant, each of the older ones read a scripture about charity, we talked about them and read another excerpt from the book. We have two different projects going on this week....one to increase charity in our home and one to increase charity to our fellowman. It was a nice lesson, I felt warm and good while we were talking. Hoping today is good as well.........  |
