Family night

In 1915 President Joseph F. Smith asked the people of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to have family home evening. Monday nights were set aside to devote time specifically for the family.
It was to be a time for teaching , reading the scriptures , of cultivating talents , of discussing family matters and to strengthen family bonds.
We have been having family night for many years - some weeks are better then others - but we are together , the children love it and we are drawing closer to each other.
Tonight we took time out from our regular lounge room routine and went to dinner at the yacht club. Twas a balmy Hobart evening - yes they do happen :) We came home for ice cream dessert and watched a "Mormon message " about seminary (they always make me sniff :))
I am so grateful for this Church. I am grateful for the sweet counsel of living Prophets. I know they are called of God to guide us throughout our lives. I know that when we follow their counsel we are blessed beyond measure.
Family night is just one of these many blessings.
Love it !
Love you Williams boys :) xxxxx
