I'm Happiest When...
All of us have a special someone. And that special someone make us to be happy. Like your family,friends, crush, boyfriend, girlfriend etc.and that person not only makes us to be happy but also inspires us to do all the things. But for me, the most important of all is my family because my family is the best gift of God.
Before family life seemed to kick into a hyper-drive, leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints counseled families to dedicate a one evening per week for family time in a program known as family home evening. At that time, families are encouraged to slow down and spend time together once a week, strengthening relationships, sharing common beliefs, and just having fun.
These family home evening ideas will help your family learn more about your extended family and start building bonds with parents, grandparents, and ancestors.
SPIRITUAL
Discuss your views on the Ten Commandments. Share your beliefs about basic Christian principles such as faith in Jesus Christ, repentance, prayer, and scripture study. Allow children to share what they believe as well. Discuss and establish standards for behavior for the members of your family. The "For the Strength of Youth" booklet offers some great suggestions and guidelines not only for teenagers, but also for family members of all ages. These include guidelines in areas such as media use, friendships, dating, and language. Watch and talk about the Life of Jesus Christ Bible. Read and discuss a favorite scripture story.

“Give highest priority to family prayer, family home evening, gospel study and instruction, and wholesome family activities. However worthy and appropriate other demands or activities may be, they must not be permitted to displace the divinely-appointed duties that only parents and families can adequately perform.” Gordon B. Hinckley, Thomas S. Monson, and James E. Faust.
