The Family : A Proclamation to the World

Preparing for the Priesthood #5 ~ Read “The Family: A Proclamation to the World.” Make a list of things you can do to help strengthen your family and make a happy home. Share the list with your parents or Primary leader.

At first, I was thinking like it must be quite a tough message or lesson to ask the children to read this “The Family: A Proclamation to the World”.

After last year, we attended the District Primary Activity Day in Preparing for the Priesthood and Young Women. From there, Sister Yang talked about how the children can do to help strengthen the family and make a happy home.

So, what’s the best way to strengthen family and help create a happy home?

“The Family: A Proclamation to the World” has the answer!

This important document describes why families are so important in Heavenly Father’s plan and what exactly we can do to strengthen our family relationships. It also explains explains exactly how we can be happier in our families.

There’s no secret recipe – just the basic principles of the gospel we’ve been taught all along: “Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful marriage and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities.”

We made the lists and things that kids can do to help strengthen our family and make a happy home.

We know that families lie at the center of our Heavenly Father’s plan. We are part of that eternal unit that requires our work and best effort on our part. Continue building lasting, loving relationships for all family members.

Be certain that we bring warmth, kindness, understanding, consideration, and a strong love to our eternal family.

Listen to one another, be united, work together, play together, pray together, study together. Live celestial principles together, serve the Lord together.

In a world of turmoil and uncertainty, it is more important than ever to make our families the center of our lives. But all the effort we put into strengthening our family will ultimately make us – and them – happier.
