On my mission, there was a family who wrote down a little entry in a big book every time they had Family Home Evening. They wrote down what everyone did and a brief description of what it was about so that they could remember years down the road.
I thought it was a cool idea and so when Andrew and I got married, I bought our first Family Home Evening book.
In the past 2 1/2 years, we've only made about 7 entries...I'm terrible! I always forget to write in it and we aren't always the most organized FHE holders (I can't tell you how many times we've walked to the donut shop on the corner and counted it as FHE). But tonight, we're starting fresh! It was so much fun to break open the book and read the old entries. I tried to write down the exciting things we had planned for the week and any goals we wanted to accomplish. We sure had some ambitious goals back in the day. Still do I guess.
Anyway, I'm excited about the FHE book. And on that note, I really loved this recent clip from Mormon Messages. It very plainly describes why Andrew and I are so dedicated to our faith. I am so grateful for my Heavenly Father and for Jesus Christ. My knowledge and belief in them is something that makes sense to me both analytically and emotionally.
