FHE topic: 3/22: Faith

Often, when we have to have FHE on Sunday nights (as we do right now), it can be difficult to incorporate a formal FHE. So, when that happens, we opt to have a discussion around the dinner table about what the kids were learning about that day in church. I remember one such discussion that happened sometime last year. Ethan asked how we knew Heavenly Father was real when we couldn't see Him. I remember asking him if he could see the air. He said no. I asked him if he could smell the air. No. Could he taste the air? No. Could he hear or feel the air? Only when the wind is blowing. So, then I turned it around and I told him that I cannot see Heavenly Father. I can't taste Him, or smell him. But when I am in need of comfort, or an answer to a prayer, or if I keep my heart tuned to spiritual experiences and really pay attention, I can hear His answer to a prayer, and I can feel His loving arms when I'm in need of comfort. That's how I know He is there.
