FHE Reverence

Monday's Family Home Evening lesson was given by Nathan this week. I just got a new calling in our ward to teach the Valiant girls, and I am thrilled about it. And it has given me the chance to see how Nathan has been acting during Primary. I noticed that he had a little problem with reverence, so as you can guess, that was the topic of his lesson. :)


I took him in the office about an hour before we started FHE and told him this story on reverence. Then when it was time for him to teach he did a marvelous job retelling the story. I was impressed! When the story was over each person got to pick a picture out of a bag, and tell what the part in their picture should be doing when they are suppose to be reverent. This part was straight from the Nursery manual.

Then the boys were given one of these situations where they could tell us what they should do to be more reverent:

• You want to tell your Primary teacher something during the lesson. How can you do this reverently? (whisper)

• You don’t know the song your class is singing. What can you do to show reverence? (sit quietly and listen so you can learn the song)

• Your little brother talks to you during the sacrament. What can you do to help him be reverent? (ask him to wait until after the sacrament to talk to you)

• You walk into a room while people are praying. How can you show reverence? (stop and fold your arms until the prayer is over, then go to your seat)

It was wonderful, and we are really enjoying FHE. I am glad we have committed to this, and I plan on sticking with it forever. :-)
