So tonight we had dinner at the folks house. It is a new thing set up for the third Sunday of the month. Those of us living in Cedar gather together for dinner, dessert and a family home evening lesson. Mother did one of her over the top FHE lessons and everyone left feeling like they were special. It was a good one and she certainly raised the bar. When it comes around to my turn for the lesson I am going to end up dropping that bar a great deal. Oh my goodness gracious. I'm thinking 5 minutes in a lesson from the Nursery manual - the best manual for quick and simple FHE lessons on the kids level. I don't think I have the patience that mom has in order to even attempt as involved a lesson as that one. Way to go mother. It was a great lesson and it was fun to participate in and hear thoughts about each individual member of the family - I don't think I heard any mention of my extreme talents as a record keeper. Hmmm, is there some sort of a message in that? Well, that which we persist in doing becomes easier right? Perhaps there is hope for my future ramblings and writings. One thing is for certain - at some point one of these third Sunday affairs needs to include tacos and chocolate pudding cake. We need more third Sundays.
Amen on the chocolate pudding cake- have only had it 2 times (maybe thrice) since 1999. Everyone claims they hate it. I will not back down.
ReplyDeleteMay I comment that you are an amazing writer and record keeper and how we missed making that observation I do not know. Glad you enjoyed the evening... I know it ran a little long for some but it was a great opportunity to realize the strengths we have in our family including the younger children.
