Mirror Mirror on the Wall, who is the fairest of them all? In the classic fairy tale, Snow White was the fairest maiden in the kingdom. But, it wasn’t her milky white skin or ruby red lips that made her the best. It was her kindness and goodness and her pure heart that made her the fairest of them all! If we looked in a magic mirror, what would our reflection say about us? Today’s family night lesson is about “Spiritual Mirrors.”
Back in December, Dan and I took all of the kids on a cruise. It had been planned nearly a year in advance, so we were SO excited when it was finally getting close to the time to leave. Well… we were all excited, except for my 11 year old son, Shane. Somehow Shane got it in his head that we were going to die, either on the cruise or the airplane. He didn’t know which, but he was 100% convinced that it was true. And, it was completely ruining him. It weighed on his mind constantly and there was no reasoning that could console him. He believed with all of his heart that I was taking him to his death. He couldn’t be around televisions or radios that had the news on, he lost his appetite and wasn’t eating, and he was certain that Christmas was never going to happen for us.
Happy New Year! It is fun to have a fresh start on many things including Gospel study. The focus for 2025 is the Doctrine and Covenants. I love that the so many of the words and teachings in Doctrine and Covenants are answers to prayers. It is a whole book of scripture that reminds us…
Okay, let’s be honest, sometimes “family history night” at church can feel a little…dry. But it doesn’t have to be that way! With a little creativity, you can plan an activity that’s actually fun and helps everyone connect with their ancestors. These activities would be perfect for Young Mens, Young Women’s, ward activities, family reunions,…
Hey, any of you ladies want to hold a priesthood office?? Well, you can’t. And, even if you could, you might wanna think twice. I’ve been studying up on something these past couple weeks and yeah, no thanks. Men can keep the offices for themselves and I will gladly SUSTAIN them as they magnify their…
This Family Night lesson takes the basic concept of the festive paper plate game to the next level. Not only are we going to create some artistic fun, we are going to build testimonies while we are at it! Your family will get to experience the difference between creating a life solo and creating a life with the help of God’s hands.
Children and Christmas make a pretty fantastic combination! I love that Primary Children around the world learn about Jesus Christ during the Christmas Season in their homes and at Primary! Jesus gives us hope. His gospel brings us peace. His love inspires us to have charity. I pray that you can feel of His love…
November is a month of gratitude and thanksgiving. The Book of Mormon gives such beautiful examples of how Heavenly Father watches over His children and blesses them in times on need. When we take time to offer our thanks to Him each day, our lives are filled with more light, peace, and love. I am…
God gave us commandments out of love. He allows us the choice to break his commandments out of love. He watches us flounder, suffer and struggle until we cry out “God save us!” out of love. He allows others, acting as angels, to struggle with us, pray for us, and come to our rescue because we all need experiences like this and because He loves us! He gave us this earth, gave us life, and when our time comes, gave us death as a doorway back to His presence because he cherishes us as His children.

Joseph Smith is not the founder of Mormonism. Or, at least people can often misinterpret that title. One other…
