About ten years ago we had a wonderful Family Home Evening.

Monday night is Family Night.

We invited my husband’s parents over for dinner. After dinner we gathered in the family room. We set up the video camera and had my mother and father-in-law sit on the couch in front of the camera. My children had previously prepared questions to ask them. I told the kids to make sure that their questions required some information, not just yes or no for an answer. We turned on the camera and each of the kids took turns asking them questions, then they answered.

It was so fun to hear about their lives. What wonderful people they are!

Since the events of that night, at least one thing has changed. My father-in-law has Alzheimer’s and doesn’t remember most things. What a blessing to have him on video talking about his life and how he feels about things.

I’m so glad!

Set a date, and video someone you love. You’ll be glad you did it too!

Happy Family History Friday! Love, Joy
