FAMILY HOME EVENING IDEA: LIFE CEREAL

"We cannot afford to neglect this heaven-inspired program. It can bring spiritual growth to each member of the family, helping him or her to withstand the temptations which are everywhere. The lessons learned in the home are those that last the longest.” -Thomas S. Monson

I love this quote from Thomas S. Monson. Our greatest happiness in this life comes from our families.

In order to achieve this happiness, we have to work to strengthen our marriage and  families each and ever day. One of the greatest works we can do is within the walls of our homes. Our homes should be a place of joy, happiness, peace, refuge, a safe haven from the world. We can create and make our homes feel just like heaven on earth. Each week I am going to be posting different Family Home Evening Ideas and other articles and materials to strengthen marriage and family. I would love for all of you to participate too if interested! If you have any family home evening ideas or other tips/advice to strengthening marriage and the family that you would like to share... please send them my way and I will feature them on my blog! Email: bostonksox@gmail.com  

 Thank you so much and I look forward to your emails.!!
