Family Home Evenings

We have loved our simple rotating chart for family home evening.  The children each get excited to know what they get to do to participate each week.  #6 Boy is even included on the chart and one of us ends up helping him.  Last week he had "activity" and #1 Girl suggested we play Duck, Duck, Goose.  He loved it!  Last week #1 Girl had lesson and talked shortly about testimonies and asked us each to share our testimonies.  It was wonderful to share our testimonies together as a family.  This week #3 Girl had the lesson and wanted us to "make up a song together and sing it."  We decided on the topic of Jesus and everyone suggested lines that could be used in the song.  After listing lines #2 Boy started to put it to a melody and Dad added the piano to it.  Then we sang it a few times.
The Song
Jesus Lord of Love
Jesus is the Lord
He created us
And the world too
and can help us
He loves children
He loves everyone
We should love them too
