Traditions Pt. 2

The second tradition is something that I have seen many of my siblings do that I quite like, This and all of the traditions in this note are more in line with the spiritual. When my grandma Died on my Dads side she left each one of us a Chair that she used in her kitchen, The chairs were antique and had been in the family for quite some time. My siblings have made these chairs the blessing chairs in the house. The chairs are only used for fathers blessings and if an ordination takes place within the walls of the house. This is another tradition that I would like to continue when I have a family of my own

Traditions

As of lately I have been thinking about traditions that I would like to have or things that I have seen others do that I thought were great.

The first tradition is one that Brigham Young had with his family. This tradition was to ring the prayer bell for family prayer. If you ever have a chance to visit the Beehive House the prayer bell is proudly displayed with an engraving on it. I couldn't tell you what the engraving says but I really liked the idea. When I went to Nauvoo I bought a bell very similar to the one that brother Brigham had. Truman G. Madsen said that his great grandfather when he was a little boy used to run to the Beehive house every time he heard the prayer bell ring so he could join the Young family in prayer, He said that the Prayers of Brigham were such that Young Madsen thought that Heavenly father was in the room with them and would sometimes open his eyes to check. When I have a family I would like to continue the tradition that Brigham had and ring the prayer bell for family prayer
