Last week I came across this talk by Elder Ballard. I knew that I wanted to do a Family Home Evening lesson on it since it was the beginning of the new year. I firmly believe that if we aren't working on something then we are floating through life. I love this quote: "I am so thoroughly convinced that if we don’t set goals in our life and learn how to master the technique of living to reach our goals, we can reach a ripe old age and look back on our life only to see that we reached but a small part of our full potential."
We decided to make some family and individual goals:
Family Goals:
Work on paying off student loans
Read scriptures everyday and have morning and evening prayers everyday.
Make our beds everyday.
Charlie has his goals
