Choose the Right (Hymns #239)

  • How does this story apply to us? Are there things we want now for which we are willing to give up our blessings later?

  1. I am SOOOOOOOOO grateful I found you website/blog!!! It has been SUCH a blessing to our family. We have used CFM since it was introduced, and some of my kids are definitely more engaged than others. This is a WONDERFUL gathering of pure scripture and insightful questions and discussion ideas. The time you have devoted to gathering from old Friend magazines and other online resources is EXACTLY what I need and don’t really know how to do without feeling really overwhelmed. Thank you SOOOOO much for doing the ‘leg work’. We are using the puzzles, mazes, etc., in our home in the evenings WITH the scriptures, and to help during Sacrament Meeting and on Sundays. You have done an AMAZING thing and I am SOOOO grateful.
