Family Home Evening: August 2015

Disclaimer: This post is about my faith.  If that makes you uncomfortable then please stop reading.  It is not my intention to make my readers feel awkward in any way.  I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  I am very proud of that part of me and I love the church with all my heart.

In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints the family is key.  Every Monday night is devoted toward "Family Home Evening".  It is a time to spend with the family so individuals can grow together as a family as well as closer to our Savior.  I try and do something spiritual every week, although, some weeks it will be spent with the family in a more casual setting.


I have started this Family Home Evening Series to help ME be more organized, but at the same time I ended up helping other families.  So I thought I would continue doing this series to hopefully help us all spend more time with our families.  Once again the lessons are short, because Hannelore is still young.

August 3rd-I love the scriptures

Song: Scripture Power

We will color and put together this book.  Then we can read it together throughout the week or if she still has some attention to give then we can read some this night as well.   

August 10th-I will follow the prophet

Song: Follow the Prophet (she loves this song)

Read this story with her.  I also like the "idea for family talk" so I plan on doing that with her as well.  

August 17th-I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Have footsteps lead us outside.  Tell her we are following Christ's footsteps.  Then have a little figure and a Tupperware of water waiting outside.  I will show her what happens to you when you get baptized.  Then I will let her try it.  I will then talk to her about recent baptisms we have been to and show her pictures of Christ's baptism.  

August 24th-I will be baptized and confirmed

We will color this page and also talk about how we can be more like Jesus at home and other places.  

August 31st-The sacrament helps me think about Jesus Christ


Play a game:  I will do an action and have her follow after me.  Then I will continue to add actions.  I will do it in a special order and I will tell her she has to follow after me in the same order.  Examples of actions: clapping, nod head, touch shoulder, tap toes, and/or circle arms.  I will liken this to the sacrament prayers and how they have to be exact.  I will help her when she needs help just like there are others to help those who bless the sacrament.  I will also liken this to remembering Jesus and following his example.
