I've noticed that some of our Family Home Evening lessons can be a little serious. So this evening we lightened things up.
Testimonies. We all want our testimonies to full. So we talked about what do we have a testimony of. As a family we snow balled ideas and came up with these. (You may notice that knowing the Articles of Faith helped with the list.)
1. Joseph Smith restored the Gospel and translated the Book of Mormon.
2. We have a prophet on the earth today who receives revelation for our church.
3. We can communicate with our Heavenly Father through prayer.
4. We are blessed when we pay our tithing.
5. We are blessed when we fast.
6. Our Heavenly Fathers plan included a council in heaven, the creation for an earth to come to and our live where we can learn and strive to become like Jesus Christ.
7. We need covenants and ordinances (baptism, endowment, sealing) to return to Him.
8. We are grateful for temples and the chance to be a forever family.
9.We have agency and hope to use it to Choose the Right.
10. We have a Father in Heaven and we are his children.
11. Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He atoned for us and was resurrected.
12. Christ will come again.
13. God loves us very much
14 Jesus blessed others with the power of the priesthood. Worth men can do the same.
A great list I thought. Since we thought of these 14 items, we would now fill up 14 water balloons for each child and went outside and had a water fight. About now they were wishing they had listed more things. I reassured them that we would do it again next month and they should be thinking of things to add to the list.
Maybe you and your families can have a Water Warrior some time soon. Your family can spread Gospel truths throughout your lawn. :)
