FHE


My kids love Family Home Evening. Yesterday Kya said she wanted to plan the lesson for tonight. She pulled out her journal and began to write. This evening she filled a bag with about 10 big rocks and then began to read what she wrote in her journal. "A boy and his mom went to a store and the little boy asked if he could have some candy. Mom said no, but the little boy took some candy, put it in his pocket and then ate the candy. When he got home and told his mom what he did, he felt bad and then went and paid for the candy" Then she asked each of us to hold the bag with rocks...after we did she told us to look at one of the rocks in the bag. There was a word written on the rock with chalk "stealing". The lesson was repentance and that if we repent the heavy burdens (rocks) will be lifted. This is one pleased mother. Zander was in charge of the activity, he wanted to have us build a tower of blocks. What a creative night we have had.
