At the end of summer we have a traditional special dinner to celebrate the beginning of a new school year. Some years we go all out and other years it is pulled together at the last minute, but the boys love it no matter. We introduce a theme for our family to focus on that year, have a wonderful meal with dessert (our boys' favorite part) and the crowning event is that each boy receives a Fathers Blessing.
This year our theme was 'REMEMBER'.
There is so many truths we want our boys to always remember ... to name a few...
REMEMBER: who they are as sons of God, to build their foundations on Jesus Christ, how good it feels to do what is right, and that they are treasured and loved beyone measure.
Each month we will focus our Monday night Family Home Evenings (FHE) on remembering... to pray, give service, be honest, read the scriptures, follow the prophet, work hard, lead clean lives etc. That should keep our FHEs full!
This years Back to School dinner was a success! Now if we can just REMEMBER:)
