Title of Liberty

Back at the end of August, we had a great Family Home Evening that Brandon put together. The lesson was on Captain Moroni and the Title of Liberty he created to help inspire his soldiers. To start off the lesson, Brandon spent a little time talking about what an amazing man Captain Moroni was. He told the kids how Captain Moroni raised a standard to rally the Nephites to defend their liberties from a group of dissenters who wanted to establish their leader as a king. Moroni ripped his coat and wrote upon it, "In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children". With these words, Moroni rallied his people to defend their families and their freedom.

After the lesson, our family made our own Title of Liberty of things worth fighting for or that were important to us.One of things Emmy wrote on the Title of Liberty was LOVE. Brandon asked her what could she draw to represent LOVE. Emmy responded that a heart would and proceeded to draw a heart. We soon realized for whatever reason she drew an R after Love creating LOVER. We left it and got a good chuckle.

It was such a great Family Home Evening Lesson. Brandon did a great job planning it. I hope and think the kids will remember. I loved the fact that we were able to spend time as a family and talk about things that are important to us.
