Day 141- Home Evening Sunday

Well my Thanksgiving weekend holiday is quickly coming to an end. Sleep was no problem since like a stuffed jelly belly relaxed into slumber. Sunday is the day to rest and with great thankfulness getting ready for church. Our home evening lesson is about bringing children into the world. President Gordon B. Hinckley, the 15th President of the Church, counseled: “Never forget that these little ones are the sons and daughters of God and that yours is a custodial relationship to them, that He was a parent before you were parents and that He has not relinquished His parental rights or interest in these His little ones. Now, love them, take care of them. Fathers, control your tempers, no and in all the years to come. Mothers, control your voices; keep them down. Rear your children in love, in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Take care of your little ones. Welcome them into your homes, and nurture and love them with all of your hearts” (“Excerpts from Recent
Addresses of President Gordon B. Hinckley,” Ensign, July 1997, 73).
