Monday Nights are Family Nights

BrWell I have to admit, we do notnhold family home evenings as much as when my sibs and I were younger. My brother and sister each have their own family now. So I am guessing they are holding their own family home evenings now. 

What are family home evenings? It is a program in our church where we as family gather every Monday nights to have games, lessons and talk and basically just spend time with our family. The Church sets aside Monday nights for this but it can be held any day of the week. 

It is such a great blessing for my family and myself to have this program. By doing this consistently when we were young, we have closer family ties, we help each other out, we are open to each other, we counsel and we learn together.

Last Monday night me and my family invited one family in our ward to join us, they are bew members in our ward. I tooj some pictures during but most parts I forgot to take pictures, maybe having too much fun. 

My dad and brothe. My brother playing the guitar as accompaniment in our opening hymn and closing hymn.

Sharing a scripture verse before we get into the actual lesson.

My dad prepared a lesson for us about Paul's teaching found in 1 Corinthians 15:33 

33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

1 Corinthians 15:33
