Do you ever wonder, as you go through your days, what a typical day was like for one of your ancestors? How early did they rise? What chores or work did they have to do? What was it like to read by candlelight in the evenings or have to heat water before washing? The only […]

Trusting God

This week I’ve been studying the General Conference talk by Pres. Henry B. Eyring, “Trust in God, Then Go and Do.” As I have pondered on his message I have learned a little more about myself and the areas I need to work on to truly develop trust in God.*How do we come to trust […]

Back in March, I was asked to give a talk in church. The topic was up to me. After bantering around several choices I kept coming back to one: FAMILY, more particularly the Family Proclamation. The following is part of what I said: In 2007 40% of all babies born in the US were born […]

Personal Warning Rattles

Know what this is? When you hear it you know it’s a warning to flee quickly lest you be subjected to painful, venomous, even deadly, bites. It is an audible warning of a physical danger. But what of spiritual danger? Are there warning rattles we can attune ourselves to that if heeded will protect us […]

Wordfull Wednesday – Service for Others

May 25, 2010 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 5 Comments

A kind word, a simple deed. Opportunities to serve are limitless and present themselves everyday. The best way for children to learn to serve is by example. I remember seeing my parents help others in a variety of ways when I was growing up. I especially remember the small acts of service they did for […]

Carrying on with the tower theme from last week’s lesson, this week the family home evening lesson is about King Benjamin’s sermon from the tower to his people and the similarities it has with General Conference today when we listen to the Prophet speak to us.

I assembled this family home evening lesson in preparation for October’s General Conference. It teaches what a watch tower is for and the responsibility of the watchmen. It then tells how Heavenly Father provided watchmen for us today, the prophet and apostles. In doing the lesson you will create a watchtower to hang on your […]

Prayer FHE {2}

June 7, 2009 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 3 Comments

This lesson is based on Elder David A Bednar’s October 2008 General Conference talk “Pray Always.” The purpose of this lesson is to teach family members to have more meaningful prayers both individually and as a family. For some reason the lessons are printing really big, cutting some of the images off. The best way […]

Based on Elder Dallin H. Oaks’s October 2008 General Conference talk this lesson is chock full of wonderful activities and helps to teach your family about why we take the sacrament and how we should behave during the sacrament.

I don’t think I’ll ever forget Elder Jeffrey R. Holland’s wonderful talk “The Ministry of Angels” from the October 2008 General Conference. You can imagine how excited I was when I received my latest family home evening swap lessons to find that Jody M. had done a lesson on his talk! It is well done […]

Come What May, and Love It FHE

Based on Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin’s October 2008 General Conference talk this family home evening lesson is geared for older children as there is more discussion and less “fun stuff.” For some reason the lessons are printing really big, cutting some of the images off. The best way to avoid this is to download the […]

Our church, over 13 million members worldwide, gather to hear our Prophet, the Twelve Apostles, and other church leaders speak words of counsel and wisdom.

Finding Joy in the Journey

The lesson I taught in Relief Society (the women’s organization in our church) Sunday was based on Pres. Thomas S. Monson’s General Conference address from last October Finding Joy in the Journey. His talk could be broken down into three main sections or areas we should focus on to find joy in our journeys. Adapt […]
