Family Home Evening and Eat More Chikin

In Carlsbad, California near the home of our daughter and her husband, there is a Chick-Fil-A drive-in that offers free food one night a year to anyone that dresses up like a cow. So here you see President Nelson in his “cow outfit” ordering his Chick-fil-A (supporting their admonition to “Eat More Chikin.”) I will have to say we felt a little funny but at least we weren’t alone--everybody there was dressed like a cow. It was our Family Home Evening activity.

We also wanted to say that,  if we could go back and do it over again, we would be better in holding our Family Home Evenings with our children. We did it, but we could have been more consistent. Nowadays, holding Family Home Evenings seems even more important—almost crucial. It plays such an important role in strengthening children and keeping the family together. There are so many “hits” out there that we need to guard against.

We were drawn to a quote by Brigham Young talking about eternal families--about marriage.

“It is without beginning of days or end of years: it lays the foundation for worlds...it is the thread which runs from the beginning to the end of the Gospel of Salvation—of the Gospel of the Son of God; it is from eternity to eternity.” (Journal of Discourses 2:90)

We love you.
