Family

I love this photo from this month's Ensign.

My visiting teacher's new year's resolution is to have regular family home evening - even though her youngest is just a Sunbeam. I keep pestering her for ideas. This month her theme is "You are special" and she's keeping it simple. For example, one week they read Max Lucado's "You Are Special" and sang I Am A Child of God. I can do that, I thought (but haven't yet).

I do keep thinking that family night really should be very simple, that the First Presidency's direction includes this phrase: we "should make Monday evening a sacred time," and that sacred has some pretty powerful connotations.
