For Family Home Evening tonight we’re going to talk about Taking Care of our Bodies. Our bodies are sacred gifts that Heavenly Father has given us to learn to take care of and use. In our family we need to be thankful for our bodies (by appreciating all the things we can do with them) [...]

Finding this quarter’s plan inspired me to prepare next quarter’s plan for Family Home Evening. This time I asked Colin if he had any topics he thinks our family should have lessons on. He listed Faith, Repentance, Baptism, Gift of the Holy Ghost, Prophets, and Apostasy & Restoration. Then he said “one week a month [...]

I thought I’d lost my FHE plan for the quarter when our web page was lost the second time in January. But, while I was looking for another document, I came across it in a folder on my computer. Yay! Obviously, some of our Family Home Evening lessons haven’t followed the plan since it was [...]

I'm in charge of Sharing Time for the next three weeks, so I thought I'd come up with ideas and blog about them. So, week 1's theme is "Ancient prophets foretold the coming of the Savior to the earth." The Friend magazine had this suggestion for the lesson: Display a flag, a heart, and a [...]

Last night we had a rather successful short Family Home Evening. Degen has been insisting on saying every prayer himself every day for a few days, so we decided to have an FHE on prayer (yes, we had an FHE on prayer a couple of months ago). We sang "Sweet Hour of Prayer" for our [...]

I'm thinking about practically free things we can do on Monday for Family Home Evening that have to do with Thanksgiving since that holiday is next week, though I can hardly believe it's so soon. I wrote a seperate post here with a list of appropriate LDS music I could use and which are my [...]

Here are some ideas for songs that would be appropriate to sing at a Thanksgiving gathering or for a Thanksgiving FHE. My favorites are Count Your Blessings, Prayer of Thanksgiving, For Health and Strength, and I Thank Thee Dear Father. LDS Hymns (listen to the music, get sheet music, and read the lyrics here: http://www.lds.org/cm/display/0,17631,4650-1,00.html): All [...]
