Keep the Commandments....a wonderful

 I love how the spirit directs our Family Home Evenings!  Liam wanted to give the lesson this week so he and I planned a lesson on the 10 commandments and talking about D&C 59.  We made some playdough with the intention of everyone making one of the commandments out in dough for the rest of us to guess which one we had represented.
It didn't quite work out that way....it went much better.  As Barry started to read from D&C 59 he felt impressed to create the commandments/ blessings hour glass and talk about how many people think commandments are confining and restrictive, yet when you analyze the results of following these laws we find that we actually have more freedom and peace.  They had fun just playing with the play dough as we talked.

 

.....while extreme dancing may not be a great Sabbath day activity (we talked some on the importance of following this one commandment) they all seemed to have a good time with FHE tonight---although Liam wants to plan another FHE lesson....."Mommy, I didn't do the lesson. Daddy did!"
