A walk in the dark...

Last Monday night we had a fun FHE (Family Home Evening) that revolved around Light - as in Jesus is our light. We talked with Gracie about Him and how He lights our way. We waited until it was dark, then we bundled up and grabbed a flashlight. There's a trail that runs along the back of our house that seperates our yard from a large field and it is especially dark back there where there are no streetlights. Before we ventured on along the trail we explained (in very simple terms) that sometimes things can seem dark (like the sky) and it can feel like we're all alone but Jesus is always there to guide us (que the flashlight). We then went on a nice little night walk. It was a clear night, the stars were bright and it was quiet and peaceful. Gracie had a blast being in charge of the flashlight! It was a really fun evening!

If we went for a walk at night here I would be afraid we would get mugged. I miss that, living in WA. You guys have the cutest ideas for FHE.
