Exercises Fo The Soul

I am using the 1983 Family Home Evening Resource Manuel which we used when our family was growing up. I don't know if the church still publishes it. As I have said before, this is merely for ideas as your family will have unique needs.

BUIILDING ETERNAL FAMILIES

Object Lesson to build interest: Show a healthy houseplant and ask family to offer ideas as to what the plant needs to be healthy and strong. ("happy")
Show a member of family household and ask what this person needs to be healthy and strong. ("happy")
Show the suggestion box you have made and ask each member of the family to put suggestions in the box with ideas for making your family grow healthy and strong ("happy") eternally.

The objective here is 1. to empower family members and 2. to find out what their needs and wishes are.

Suggested Hymn or song: 'Love At Home" or "Families Can Be Together Forever" .

PERSON OF THE WEEK: Jay Hill He tended all the kids while Sara and Emily went shopping without kids, something only someone distracted with kids while shopping can appreciate.
