A More Christlike Year

A few weeks ago, I attending a Relief Society meeting geared toward becoming "Guardians of the Hearth." One of the break-out sessions I attended had to do with improving personal and family scripture study. An idea shared was taking each of the headings about Christ in the Topical Guide and basing a Family Home Evening lesson on it. We've only been able to have a few, but I've loved doing it so far! My favorite was the first lesson, when we talked about Christ and his names (and their meanings) and Clark and I shared our testimonies with our daughter. We then walked into her bedroom and reminded her that the pictures above her crib are of Christ as a child or interacting with children. It was a simple lesson, but I felt the Spirit. :) I'm so excited to go through the rest of the topics and finish up next February!

Here are two of the pictures I have hanging on the nursery wall:

"In His Light" by Greg Olsen

Liz Lemon Swindle's "Be It Unto Me"

In case you're wondering, there are slightly more than 52 topics, but a few don't have scriptural references and a couple others are so similar that I combined them. In case you want to do this with your own family, here are the topics:
