Creating Memories

 

CREATING MEMORIES TOGETHER!

Family history is not only about discovering the stories of those who came before us. It is also about creating and preserving memories for those who come after us.

The moments we share with our families today—the conversations around the dinner table, summer adventures, family traditions, and everyday experiences—are all part of a legacy in progress. One day, these ordinary moments may become the stories our children and grandchildren cherish most.

This section is filled with simple activities, memory prompts, conversation starters, and family-friendly ideas designed to help you slow down, connect, and capture the memories that make your family unique. Whether you are recording a favorite summer memory, sharing stories around the dinner table, or working through the Family History Summer Bucket List, each activity is an opportunity to strengthen family relationships and preserve a piece of your story.

After all, today's memories are tomorrow's family history.

Clothing, Covering, and Linen in the Scriptures #2. Coats of Skin

Image
Genesis 3:21 (Moses 4:27) “Unto Adam and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skin, and clothed them.” Notice who clothed Adam and Eve in their coats of skin? While Satan left Adam and Eve to make their fig leaves apron by themselves, God personally clothed them. In order to clothe a person in coats of skin ( presumably ) an animal sacrifice would have had to be made. There is tremendous symbolism in this with regards to our Savior, Jesus Christ. He would perform the ultimate sacrifice and inevitably die for our sins. His atonement is the only thing that will be able to truly "cover" our sins/mistakes. Atonement means to cover. "Each of us can be covered through the atonement of the Savior. A covering that provides warmth, comfort, and blots out our sins." ( YouTube video - Aprons of Fig Leaves and Coats of Skins.) The coats of skin is evidence of God's wisdom being superior to man's. ( Wikipedia ) I love the scripture found in Abraham 2:8, "My ...

Clothing, Covering, and Linen in the Scriptures #1. Fig Leaves

" found in Mosiah 10:5. What did women making clothes have to do with prosperity and peace? I did a mini study on this verse and similar verses which I will share later; however, today, I would like to share my thoughts on a couple verses found in Genesis 4. One talks about Adam and Eve covering themselves with fig leaves and the other mentions God covering Adam and Eve with coats of skin. This is what I learned: At the end of each post, there will be a free printable to use for your own study. Fig Leaves Genesis 3:7 (Moses 4:13) - And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. What did...
