Day 76

Read: 3 Nephi 3-5

Mark: 3 Nephi 3:12-14; 4:10

“In providing out-of-home activities for the family, we must use care; otherwise, we could be like a father determined to provide everything for his family. He devotes every energy to that end and succeeds; only then does he discover that what they needed most, to be together as a family, has been neglected.”
~ President Boyd K. Packer

How can you help your family receive the strength that comes from being “gathered together”?

*For me it's by taking it easy and not stressing that the activity is "perfect"  We have the MOST fun and the BEST memories from playing Phase 10, or UNO.  Our family is pretty busy and we all have our own individual activities so eating together every night isn't usually an option.  We like to make the best out of the time we have.  I love sitting around the table with my parents and little brothers (when Meg & Kev are here it is even more fun) and laughing.  We have senseless stupid conversations at times, but more often than not some pretty important stuff is discussed and testimonies are shared.  It's the best because it's not planned and is very organic. I love my family and am so blessed to live so close.  I am blessed.
