Love at Home

"All the world is filled with love, when there's love at home." (Hymn 294)

Song:
I'm Trying to Be Like Jesus (CS, 78)
Prayer:
Mom
Scripture:
Exodus 20: 12

Lesson:

Love and Service Go Hand in Hand
Read "The Two Years that Flew" (see Friend Feb. 2010). Talk about what the little sister did to show love to her brother while he was serving a mission. What can YOU do to show love to your family?

Game: My Happy Home
To learn what you can do to show love to your family, play the game "My Happy Home". The first one to fill their home with love (or hearts) wins the game.



Secret Servers

Cut out several red hearts and distribute an envelope full to each family member. Encourage them to secretly serve in the family this week and leave behind a love heart (from "Bulletin Board: Serving with Love," Friend Feb. 2010).

Song: Love at Home (Hymns, 294)
Prayer: Dad

Refreshment:
Heart-shaped sugar cookies

Activity:
Make valentines for friends and neighbors. Learn how to write a poem. Or, make a package for a missionary in your family.

Tip: Melt used crayons into heart shapes and gift them on Valentine's Day with a note that says, "Have a heart." (See instructions at Family Fun magazine.)
