Hymns

When your children are younger, you can teach them any songs you want.  Every day we would sing a hymn together as a family.  I loved singing hymns because there is so many profound testimonies and thoughts in hymns.  I am glad that my children sang hymns then, because I would have a difficult time asking them to sing hymns together now (they are ages 18-1/2 - 24).

We would sing the hymn and discuss the words each day.  These were awesome experiences I am glad we worked through!

Challenge:  Sing hymns with your children that have great meaning!  Talk about the testimonies and precepts in them!  Deepen your faith together by getting the history behind some of the hymns.
