Families

For Family Home Evening we've had our children covering topics found in For the Strength of Youth. Rachel covered "Family" last night. We've been trying to get them to gear it towards the little kids, but so far they've just read out of the pamphlet and some of the scriptures that go with it.

Rachel was quite creative last night. She decided to interview the different kids for their definition of a family and end in a group hug. The results were funny, cute and thoughtful. Here are her results:

Moroni (3): Family? Family is a herd of a family. Is a run of a family.

Ruth (5): It means we have a lot of kids, we have a mom and a dad and one of us is part of this family of mom's and dad's from birth.

Sam (7): Your brothers and sisters and mom and dad. There were two people on earth, Adam and Eve, who had a family ad one of the kids gets married, has a family and it keeps going on and on. All of the families are forever.

Ben (9): People that love. I think family should be nice to each other and having a family is nice and without a family... I don't know what would happen.

Mary (11): People that you grow up with.

Rachel (12): The interviewer - After interviewing everyone I had a little time to think, hearing what everyone thinks about the *word* family is like knowing what they think of *their* family. 'Cause we speak from experience and it's a hard thing to talk and think about since we are still experiencing it. You only have on family so it's nice to think about how much you appreciate it.

Rebekah (14): Basic social unit consisting of a parent and child; also eternal.

Joseph (15): People you're born with. And some are adorable children and others are nice too.
