Our Faith Pots

Each month for Family Home Evening we focus on one particular topic and Faith is the theme we chose for March. In order to illustrate to the kids how we can help nourish and strengthen our faith, we used the trusted "Faith is like a seed" comparison. On Monday night we read Alma 32 and the kids painted their flower pots.


Last night we got to plant our little seeds of faith; Savannah chose to plant onions, Xander chose peppers, and Noah got the cilantro.
"Now, we will compare the word unto a seed."

"And behold, as the tree beginneth to grow, ye will say: Let us nourish it with great care."

"But if ye will nourish the word, yea, nourish the tree as it beginneth to grow, by your faith with great diligence, and with patience, looking forward to the fruit thereof, it shall take root; and behold it will be a tree springing up into everlasting life."

What a great theme for this month, and wait a great way to show faith by planting seeds. You and David are great parents with such wonderful uplifting ideas to help teach the kids valuable lessons.
