As you are preparing for refreshing or remembering

As you are preparing for refreshing or remembering school routines and what might work for your family scripture study, here are some common questions we get asked about our kits:

Q:Why would I want to use the kits?
A: The entire goal we have is that you can use your time to personally study, dive in, and be embraced by the Spirit of the Lord. Then, as you teach the youth in your life, these kits and tools are aids. Spend your precious time with your personal study, and you, your heart, and testimony will grow. And then the activities - already created - are ways to translate your testimony to your youth.

Q: There is so much in each kit! How do I use it all?
A: Most people do not use everything each week (I don't!). The variety is there so you have a lot of options to choose from.

Q: How do I know what to use from the kits?
A: One of the best pieces of advice I could give is not to have the goal of filling up your child with gospel facts, but instead to nurture their spiritual growth. Therefore, choose the things that you know will touch their hearts and teach them skills. Those are things that are lasting and that they can build upon.
* More is coming on this in the Fall - we really have some amazing things coming that will truly help you know how to do this.

Q: What part of the kit do you use in your home every week?
A: The study pages (adults), the study and marking guide for kids (to teach skills), and the table posters (to touch hearts and nurture their personal testimonies). #inmyhome I don't use the table posters on the counter. I use them for a night-time teaching moment each night. I just pull something new from the poster(s) each night, or review something we have already covered. It is really effective because repetition is a powerful teaching tool.

"I can think of no more important counsel from a loving Heavenly Father than His admonition for each of you to "stand... in holy places, and be not moved." He is saying: Stand firm. Be steadfast. 'Stand for truth and righteousness.' Stand as a witness. Be a standard to the world. Stand in holy places. And so my message to each of you is a simple one: Be not moved."
- Sister Elaine S. Dalton, April 2013

I am so grateful for your warm reception in meetin

I am so grateful for your warm reception in meeting Courtney yesterday! Each Monday for the next few weeks you’ll meet the rest of us (including my good husband if I can convince him to share some thoughts!). The work I have done, and the work I get to dream of, is because of each of them!

I loved Courtney’s thoughts about holy homes. We are all trying to make our homes holy places, and yet sometimes they do not feel so holy! Especially as I think about getting back into school routines and structures, this week’s kit has greatly helped me.

#Inmyhome, sometimes we have sweet prayers and beautiful teaching moments. Sometimes we are kind, forgiving, and patient with one another. And sometimes we need do-overs.

I have realized that my home is the battlefield I need to fight in every day. Satan is doing his best to attack it, so I need to do my best to fortify it.

As we know families are beginning to prepare for back to school, we added something in the kit this week that I put in for my own family to use and then hoped that it would help you too.

We added this family council activity to help your family discuss how your home can be a holy place and what specific things you can do to help it be holy.

There are invitations you can use and an outline ready to print and go - or to be adjusted as you see fit.

Remember what Elder M. Russell Ballard said: “I believe councils are the most effective way to get real results"(Family Councils, April 2016 GC).

FROM COURTNEY: When I think of a holy place, I t

FROM COURTNEY:

When I think of a holy place, I think of the home. I remember as a young adult writing: The Bible Dictionary teaches me, “Only the home can compare with the temple in sacredness” next to D&C 87:8. When I wrote these words I had a vision of how my home would look and feel when I became a mother. Isn't it funny how quickly the Lord humbles us?

I spent my younger years as a wife and mother feeling discouraged. With all my heart I wanted to raise my children in a place that reflected the holiness of the temple. When I would picture the temple, I would think about the beauty, the quiet voices, and the order.

This was NOT my home.

My home was noisy and covered in Legos, dirty dishes, and laundry. My days were not filled with order. Instead they were characterized by cleaning up messes and navigating toddler tantrums, all while trying to find time to shower before 5pm.

In the reality of trying to create this perfectly "sacred" environment, I was growing a resentment towards the thing that the home exists for...and the harder I pushed, the more anxious and less temple-like my home felt.

After a particularly hard week, I managed to find a babysitter and went to the temple. As I sat in the Lord's house, I began to cry. It was so holy. So peaceful. I didn’t want to leave. I wanted to hold on to that feeling forever.

In that moment, I looked up the word, “temple” in the BD. "Only the home can compare with the temple in sacredness." There it was again. But then I looked closer.

There was nothing that said I needed to MAKE my home sacred like the temple. The sacredness was already there.

Sacredness was not something I could artificially create. IT WAS ALREADY THERE. It was a gift from God.
