Family home evening is a night of the week set apart to be with your family. Traditionally, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints set Monday night as the day to be with the family. We do things such as: Sing songs, say prayers, do fun activities, share a gospel message and eat some dessert. The family is the best place to teach the Gospel. Only at home in families can children learn the true nature of families as appointed by our father in heaven.
Families who set a night apart to be together, to talk and to teach, will grow closer together as a family and will receive blessings from the Lord. Family contention will decrease as we spend this time together and get to know each other better. We all can too easily get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life. We fill our days with too many activities and spend too much time trying to provide for our families. Sometimes in this hustle and bustle we are so busy that we don't have anytime to spend with the family we are supporting. We need to slow down and focus on the things that matter most to us.
I am so glad that we have been counseled to set apart this day to have family home evening. I know that as we take this time to be together, happiness in our family life will increase and the Lord will bless our families with the things we need.
