![]() Each Sunday after dinner we gather to have a family council. I mentioned above that we watch “Line Upon Line” during our family council. We try to remember the events that are upcoming for each member of the family, or a blessing they may need in the next few days. We try to emphasize what things we should pray for and to remember others. ![]() In fact, a lot of times our children’s prayers are very short. Usually, this happens in the evening right after we finish reaching scriptures.Īre these grand prayers and orations to God? Not really. Family prayer allows us to gather as a family, recap the day and bring the spirit into our house. We have found that our house is more in order when we have consistent family prayer. We have had great conversations on why that verse was important to the person. After the three minutes have elapsed, each person gets a chance to share the verse that affected them most. ![]() We set a timer for three minutes and just read the verses to ourselves. They have also helped us understand the passages of scripture in ways that we hadn’t thought of.ĭuring the week, we will gather in the evening and read the chapters in the lesson. Their once-a-week video goes into more details than the Come Follow Me lesson and has helped us when discussing the lesson with our children. These short videos explain the week’s lesson in a format that is enjoyable and entertaining.Īnother resource that Cheryl and I use is “ Don’t Miss This” by Emily Belle Freeman and David Butler. On Sunday nights we gather for family council and part of that council is to watch the “ Line Upon Line” for Come Follow Me channel by Living Scriptures. We utilize other works that help with our understanding. We don’t just use the Come Follow Me manual. I would love to say that this happens nightly, but we do have our studies several times during the week. In our family, we use the lessons as part of our scripture study. The goal is to have families center their faith at home and have the church support them in raising up members to the Lord.Ĭome Follow Me is, therefore, an important tool in creating a house of order. The Come Follow Me curriculum was part of creating a home-centered church-supported faith for its members. How do we create such a house? Luckily, God has given us the tools to do so. God has also told us “Organize yourselves prepare every needful thing, and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God ” ( Doctrine and Covenants 109:8). God has told us “Behold, mine house is a house of order, saith the Lord God, and not a house of confusion.” ( Doctrine and Covenants 132:8). In “ A House of Sequential Order“, Elder Vaiangina (Vai) Sikahema states “‘Sequential Order’ is a simple, natural, and effective way for the Lord to teach us, as His children, important principles.” He goes on to describe how God has created a house of order that helps us return to His presence.
