Family : It Better Be About Time

     I have been thinking a lot lately upon the importance of family. All families have their ups and their downs. I remember all the boys in my family gaining up on my sister and in turn she would lock us out of the house. I also remember trying to read a book in my room when all of a sudden my brother would come charging in and shoot a soft air bullet into my shin. The times that I remember the most with my family however are the good times. If it was either going ice fishing with my dad or going on a drive just with my mom, I cherished the special times with my family.

     The worlds view of the family is decaying by portraying the family as just a group of people who do all sorts of crazy things. God's view is that the family is one of the most important social-units of time and all eternity. With our family, we can learn about and strengthen our testimony in Christ in the home. The home can be one of the most sacred places on the whole Earth. It can also be one of the worst environments. Satan is doing all that he can to destroy families and the home. We need to protect our families and our home!

     As the Lord said about Abraham, "For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgement; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him." -Genesis 18:19. We need to be able to allow the Lord to have confidence in our families and that our family will keep the way of the Lord. Our lives will have more meaning, we will be happier, and our relationship with God will be strengthened.

     I know that family is ordained of God and I'm so grateful for my family. My family is no way near perfect but we are striving to do what is right. God is our loving Heavenly Father and he sent his son Jesus Christ into this world to die for us! Joseph Smith was a young boy who did see Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and in fact translated the Book of Mormon. God Speed Till We Blog Again!
