Family home evening good idea...

Song: Love One Another

Scripture: John 13:34 "A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another, as I have loved you, that ye also love one another."

Items needed:

Write a letter to each family member and explain to them why they are important and special. Leave the letter in a place where they will find it on the day of your FHE lesson.
Make a chart that says Love One Another--see below how to make chart
Adapted from Family Home Evening Resource book:

If Jesus Came to Visit Us

How would it feel if Jesus were to come and visit our home?
Would we want to change the way we act with each other?
What would Jesus think if He came into our home?
Jesus would be unhappy if we were being unkind and unloving towards our family members. He cares so much about us that he wants us to feel the love He and Heavenly Father have for us. We can feel that love in our families.

Inviting the Spirit of the Lord into Our Home

Ask how the letters to each family member made them feel.
When we show love and appreciation it brings a good spirit into our home. This is how our Heavenly Father and Jesus want us to feel. The family in the central unit of the Lord's plan for us.

Love One Another Chart

Make a chart by drawing a heart in the middle of the paper with rays around it.

Next make lines below the heart to write names on.
In the middle of the heart, write "Our Family"
Each time you see a family member show love put id down on the chart. The deed goes onto the rays and you can write the name on the list below. Challenge each family member to help fill all the rays by the next FHE.
