John 15:12). This I command you to love one another as I have loved you.
Psalm 119;105
Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.
2 Timothy 3:14-16 3:14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it,
3:15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
Lesson:
Perform small acts of service together as a family. Whether you do formal volunteer work, rake the leaves in a neighbor’s yard, or simply bring soup to a sick family member, compassionate service will bring your family closer to each other and to your Heavenly Father. When you read the scriptures as a family, you will invite Our Heavenly Father’s Spirit to be in your home. Your children will learn how to apply Our Heavenly Father’s teachings in their lives and receive guidance from him for themselves. Even if you only read one verse together each morning, studying the scriptures will help your family draw closer to Our Heavenly Father. Jesus Christ said, “This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you” (John 15:12). Regularly remind each member of your family how much you love them. Even if you’re sure they already know, expressing love will always bring joy and invite The Holy Spirit into your home. Our Heavenly Father blesses families who pray together with increased peace, love, and happiness in the home. Whether you have small children or grown children, family prayer can help your family draw closer to one another. Make an effort to gather the whole family around the table during dinnertime. Regularly getting the whole family together during mealtime can help build better relationships. It will help increase the love in your home. As a parent, it’s your responsibility to teach your children good values and principles. Teach your children about Our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Help them understand the difference between right and wrong. Good values lead to good choices, and good choices always lead to Our Heavenly Father.
With all the demands of everyday life, uninterrupted family time can be scarce. Latter-day Saints set aside one night a week for family night when they spend time together, eat treats, learn the gospel, and have fun. It’s a good way to keep family time a priority—because after all, what’s more important than your family? Attending church together will help reinforce your family values and bring each member of your family closer to Our Heavenly Father. It can also provide you and your children with a sense of community.Traditions help your family members feel like they’re a part of something bigger. Carry on traditions you learned from your own family or start your own. Even if it’s something simple, like making brownies every Sunday or going caroling on Christmas Eve, the traditions you have will make lasting memories and help your family become closer.
Comments: In this dark world that we now have, it is always better to keep your family happy and close to you and to your Heavenly Father. Here at Raynette K. Weiss ministries we encourage you to do this above, so that you can have joy and peace throughout your life, and it is only going to get worse, so why not learn these values now so you will be protected.
Closing Prayer: Heavenly Father we thank You for reminding us of the old values we once had and reminding us how to do it. We thank you for helping us put this lesson together. In the name of Our lord and savior we pray.
Prayer for salvation; Lord Jesus; Please come into my heart as my Lord and Savior.Take
complete control of my life and help me to walk in Your footsteps daily by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for saving me and I know you will answer my prayers. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
