I thought I would share a little something from this months message:
Decembers Ensign First Presidency Message: From Gordon B. Hinkley
Here are some points I really liked in this months message.
"Behold your little ones,and teach them. Your example will do more than anything else in impressing upon their minds a pattern of life." The obvious includes four imperatives with reference to children: (1) lovethem, (2) teach them, (3) respect them,and (4) pray with them and for them.
"It is so obvious that the great good and the terrible evil in the world today are the sweet
and the bitter fruits of the rearing of yesterday’s children. As we train a new generation,
so will the world be in a few years. If you are worried about the future, then look to the
upbringing of your children. Wisely did the writer of Proverbs declare","Train up a child the way he should go: and when he is old,he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6).
We are trying to follow the advice given last conference and on our Family nights read or watch the past Conference talks. The more we read these things as a family the more love we feel in our home. The boys are doing alot better in listening as we read together. We try to make it fun. Today I bought some santa hats for all of us and we took a picture infront of our poor Christmas tree, It's a danger zone since it's broken. Today was pretty uneventful but a good day. Orion has 2 ear infections we found out on Friday so he's on meds. He's got the same icky stuff going all over..We all pretty much have a touch of what ever is floating around here.

Thank you for sharing your insights on Pres. Hinckley's message. That was very inspiring.
The gospel truly does bring more love into our home when we teach it within the walls of our home.
I pray you all get to feeling better.
