Which way do we go? We started by talking about road signs and what they mean and how they keep us safe. I was surprised by how many of them my 6 and 3 year old actually knew. We then got a little side tracked when they started asking when they get to drive for real. Which is never!
We read the story from the Book of Mormon Stories and talked about how Lehi prayed for a way to direct his family and when he woke up there was the Liahona outside his tent. Lehi, Nephi and their family didn't have street signs. How did they find his way? The Liahona. Its like a compass that directed Nephi and his family though the wilderness and the sea but only so long as they were faithful.
We have street signs to help us drive but what do we have to guide us in our life? Eleanor promptly raised her hand and told me we had the Holy Ghost. We then talked about how just as the Liahona only works when Nephi and his family are making good choices so the Holy Ghost can only be with us when we are choosing the right.
This was the kind of family home evening when we had a lot of discussion and I was so happy to have fun and learn with my munchkins and answer all of the silly and not so silly questions. We had plans to play red light green light outside but it was already dark and time for baths so we skipped it but look forward to playing it tomorrow!!
