CREATE!
For Family Home Evening we watched this video message:
https://www.lds.org/pages/mormon-messages?lang=eng#create
It was a perfect little video on the importance and significance of creating. All of us are creators and we are all children of the greatest creator there ever will be. I loved being reminded of the importance of creation and how many ways we really do create. It is not just in art work, or music or in tangible pieces of things. A smile, a hike...there are countless ways we create and add to this beautiful world and life.
Jane had fun creating with Grammy all day. We called it "Star Day" because she painted a star, she ate stars, she drew stars with her chalk, she read "The Sneetches" with their star bellies...it was really fun to see her be active all day long with her Grammy. She truly has the most positive energy I've ever seen in a little person, so it's wonderful for her to have high energy buddies to!
I am so grateful for the chance to have FHE weekly. It is such an important thing we've been asked to do as families. And I love being able to follow the council of prophets happily and striving to do the things they've asked us to do allows blessings and peace to enter our lives.
