Articles of Faith FHE

We got this wonderful Christmas gift from Adam's parents, a book of Family Home Evening lessons that teach the Articles of Faith. We are so excited to learn these as a family this year, and to help prepare Thomas for baptism. The kids are giddy because for every Article of Faith they memorize and recite to their Oma, they will get a little number charm to put on a key ring. We talked tonight about the importance of the Articles of Faith, of really knowing what we believe so that we can be spiritually prepared to answer questions that are asked of us and testify of the Savior. Destenee and Calvin already knew the first Article of Faith. Thomas is just learning to read, and he read it right off the paper, then practiced reciting it until he knew it. I sang the little song with Isabel, she loved that and learned some of it. We talked about Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost, about their physical natures and their purpose and relationships. It is so beautiful to see their little eyes light up when they understand something about their God. They have such pure faith. I think this is going to be a wonderful year.
