2013 Begins


Allred Family Theme 2013:
 "Be Steadfast and Immovable Always Abounding in Good Works"
 Mosiah 5:15

We don't usually choose a scripture, but E and I had spent a few weeks talking and thinking about what we wanted our family to focus on this year. We knew the concepts that we felt would be good for us, but we couldn't find or think of a good phrase. The day before we were going to sit down and present the theme to our family, I realized this that was hanging on our wall was extremely fitting for the goals we had in mind (in front of our face the whole time!). E agreed. And that's how it came to be.

The question we will each answer on Monday night during FHE after we have said the theme together is simply "How did you live it this week?"
