Family Home Evening...

One of my favorite FHE is when we have a testimony meeting with the kids. We will usually have everyone stand up and say 3 things that they love about each person in the family, this helps our family create a bond with eachother. Sometimes I am really surprised at the comments they say to eachother, this is a time when they are the most honest and sweet with eachother. We usually will allow them a few minutes each to bear testimony about whatever they are feeling at that time in their lives. My kids do not feel real comfortable getting up in front of the ward to bear testimony, so the family setting is much more comfortable.
Eric and I are both so impressed with the love that our children show to eachother, of course when they were younger they did their fare share of arguing, but for the most part they really love each other, and we hear them on a regular basis day to day tell eachother how much they love eachother.
