FHE: The Restoration of the Priesthood
05 days ago

in family home evening
May 15 is a day of celebration in the Church, because of the restoration of the Aaronic Priesthood, which occurred on May 15, 1829, and the Melchizedek Priesthood, 
which was also restored a short time later.
In a talk in 1988, President Gordon B. Hinckley said:
Can you imagine what a wonderful experience this restoration of the Aaronic Priesthood must have been for Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery when John the Baptist spoke to them? Here was a man who had lived upon the earth more than 1,800 years earlier. Now he was speaking in English to two young men while he held his hands upon their heads. His was a resurrected body. Theirs were mortal bodies. They felt his hands, the materiality of them, and understood the words that he spoke. This tells us that resurrected beings are tangible, that they can move and act, that they can speak and be understood.
He told them, among other things, that, while the authority he gave them authorized them to baptize, it did not include the authority to bestow the Holy Ghost. He indicated that another order of the priesthood was necessary for this, and that it would subsequently be given to them by Peter, James, and John.
Commemorate the restoration of the Priesthood this week for family home evening, courtesy of FHE Lessons. Click here for the lesson.

For the moms in your life, we’d like to dedicate this song by William Joseph called “A Mother’s Heart” from his “Beyond” CD to our listeners. Click on the album picture below to hear a sample.
The album would make a perfect gift for Mother’s Day. Here’s a review on Amazon.com by D. Untch (Smithton, IL), who said: ”I bought William Joseph’s ‘Beyond’ CD for my mom. She loves it, dances around the house! I decided to buy her ‘Within.’ She said she likes it but not as much as ‘Beyond.’
Need more gift ideas? Another thing Mom would be sure to love is a beautiful temple medallion. Take a look here.
Indispensable Moms

Enjoy this personal story of one dad who realized just how amazing the moms in his life are.
One evening while I was working outside in the yard, my five-year-old son came and asked me if I could get him some chocolate milk. I was in the middle of some yard work so I told him I would get him some chocolate milk as soon as I was done with the yard project. About five minutes later, he was back again asking where his chocolate milk was. I said, rather impatiently, “Son, I’m busy right now. Remember what I always tell you? I can only do one thing at a time.” As my five-year-old headed back into the house I heard him say under his breath, “Mom can do more than one thing at a time…”
And he was absolutely right.
Not only can moms multi-task much better than dads, but they are usually better than dads at most things when it comes to raising kids. (continue reading at Phil’s Phables…)

FHE: All about Mom (Psst, Dad!)

Don’t you love this scripture about the importance of strong mothers (like Sister Beck’s “mothers who know”) in the lives of their children?
Now they never had fought, yet they did not fear death; and they did think more upon the liberty of their fathers than they did upon their lives; yea, they had been taught by their mothers, that if they did not doubt, God would deliver them.
And they rehearsed unto me the words of their mothers, saying: We do not doubt our mothers knew it.
Today’s family home evening will get your family in the right frame of mind for Mother’s Day this Sunday, and maybe it can even stretch that one day into a whole week of honoring Mom.
Psst…are you listening, Dad? Mom would love it if you ran this special FHE just for her!
From the blog Family Home Evening Lessons, this lesson on honoring mothers can be used for young children or for teens and adults. And for the activity, how about writing notes of appreciation to the moms and grandmas in your lives?
