A GREAT FHE!

Every Monday night, our church leaders have counseled us to hold "Family Home Evenings." Basically, this is a night to devote 100% to the family- to teach a lesson about Christ or the Gospel of Christ, to play games, to enjoy a fun snack, and really- to just shut out the rest of the world and put the focus on the family.

Ben and I have tried really hard to implement this counsel. Normally, it goes OK, but not great. Often we have one kid or another jumping on the couch, standing on their head, or otherwise being mischievous. But we persevere.

Tonight, however, was a great success. We had a great lesson about "The Parable of the Popcorn." It talks about how some popcorn kernels pop into beautiful white popcorn for others to enjoy, while other kernels just lie in the heat and do nothing. The basic idea is that some people share their talents and reach the potential God has given them, while others do not.

Then, the fun part: Popcorn Olympics.

We played several games with popcorn, and the girls LOVED every minute of it. There was lots of laughing and it was a lot of fun. Audra said, "This was the best family home evening ever!"

So I thought I would share. You can get the FHE plan HERE.
