FHE

Last night we had FHE at G'ma's and Papa's house. Well, we usually do, but last night they prepared the lesson. We had to do before dinner because part of it took place outside and it would dark and cold soon. Too bad, Dad had to miss it. What a fun time the kids had! It will be one I hope they will remember. Papa started out by giving them treasure maps. He made one for each one of them to carry. He then gave them a little garden shovel so they could dig up their treasure.
Cade went first and found his immediately. Analise went second and had to dig a bit and get some extra help. Kelson found his easily as well. Each of them found these "diamonds" (as they called them). Each of them were different colors. They truly felt they found a treasure.

We then went inside to talk about "real" treasures. This took some convincing. G'ma took over with the lesson and led them in the right direction to figure out what a real treasure is- that is nothing you can buy or keep on earth. She then showed them her scriptures and taught them that Heavenly Father has given us a great treasure map, the scriptures, and just like digging for the "diamonds" we need to dig into the scriptures and read about how we can return with our Heavenly Father and families forever.
My hope is that they will look at these stones they got and remember this important lesson. Cade has really been into monetary items lately. He seems to never be happy with what he has and believes that he just has this one more thing then it will make him happy. Aren't so many of us like this? I hope this important lesson will stay with them forever. Thanks for the great lesson Papa and G'ma!
