I've been thinking about how I think we are pretty good at teaching about standards and commandments and obedience. But, how I want us to be better and teaching about Jesus. I want our children to know who He is better. To know His stories...and in those ways better understand the "why" of the other things we try to do.
We decided to try focusing on a story each Family Home Evening. Nathan came up with this idea. We read the story of Jesus and the apostles and casting out their nets...and talked about how the apostles' examples can apply to our lives. We can be willing to "leave our nets and follow Him". And, how Jesus will bring us success when we become "fishers" for him. Then we made "boats" out of aluminum foil and saw how many fish we could fill the boats with before they sank. We ate a lot of soggy fish...and had a great time!
