What's the Treat?

Family Home Evening Treat 08/08/05

Each Monday night our family gathers together to have Family Home Evening. We sing, pray, have a little lesson, play a game and have a treat. This is how the dialogue goes every single week.
"Okay everyone, come for Family Home Evening"
"Is there a treat?"
"You bet"
"What is it?"
"Don't worry you'll like it, just come and sit down"
"Is there a game?"
"Yep, come and sit down"
It's like they're reading a script! Same conversation every week.

It's funny, no one ever asks..."Hey mom is there a spiritually uplifting lesson that you've carefully prepared to help us in our journey here on earth?"

A Little Lesson:
One of the reasons I titled this blog Little Lessons to Live By is because of how it seems that there is a lesson waiting for us in every experience, even the simple and mundane things we do each day. Is the lesson easy to see? Sometimes, but often we are too busy looking for the treat to see it.

  2. Does chocolate chips straight from the bag count as a treat?
