Eternal Families

Our Stake Primary Presidency issued a family challenge a couple of months ago to help strengthen families. Each family in the stake was given a mason jar and different colored fuzz balls. There were big red fuzz balls that represented Family Home Evening, yellow fuzzballs that represented family scripture study and blue fuzzballs that represented family prayer. Every time your family did one of those things they put a corresponding fuzzball into the mason jar. The idea was to have your jar filled by the end of the challenge. The reward was free family pictures in front of the temple at Stake Conference. Below are our pictures.
My children loved this challenge. They were so excited to see our jar get fuller and fuller. It was an inspired challenge and I truly feel that it strengthened our family. I love the picture of the our children standing together in front of the temple. I love the sweet tenderness of Logan and Madison holding hands (which was not prompted, they did this on their own). I have such a strong testimony of the temple and Eternal Families. I am grateful that Kyle and I have been sealed in the temple and that we have the opportunity to be an Eternal Family. As I look a these pictures it makes me so grateful for each of my children and my wonderful husband.
