The lesson went very well. My children especially seemed to cling towards the connection that certain words could invite the Spirit, while others drive Him away.
By far the best part was the Main Activity. We sat in a circle, on a horridly un-vacuumed floor, and tossed around a bean bag. We did three rounds so that each member said something nice about each other individual. I felt the Spirit enter our home and stay in our little circle of lovingly spoken compliments.
When it was Evangeline's turn to throw her bean bag to me she said, "Mommy is good at Family Home Evening." My tears flowed as I thought of the blessings that our family has enjoyed from making the commitment to having 100% FHE's in 2010. What an amazing way to begin a new decade and to teach our children in the way they should go.

My daughters are the same age as yours and the bean bag toss was their favorite activity as well.
We did this lesson this past monday. Thank you for the inspiration! It was just what we needed around here! Funny story: While making the list of nice words and mean words my 6 year old son says "I have a mean word to put on the list, Mommy. It is FU**". Yea, there went the spirit right out the door. My younger sister who was visiting busted up laughing. We ended our lesson with a lesson on not EVER saying that word again.
Thank you public school.
So sweet, Emilie!
Hi-larious, Michelle.
