Extraordinary Daughters of God #6

The Importance of the Home & The Family

~ Sister Amy Lee Lim

What Does Home Mean to You?

What is the "Family" in Your Mind?

In a world of turmoil and uncertainty, it is more important than ever to make our families the centre of our lives and the top of our priorities. The Family is ordained of God. Families lie at the centre of our Heavenly Father’s plan.

This statement from “The Family: A Proclamation to the World” declares the responsibilities of parents to their families:

“Husband and wife have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other and for their children. ‘Children are an heritage of the Lord’ (Psalms 127:3). Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, to teach them to love and serve one another, to observe the commandments of God and to be law-abiding citizens wherever they live. Husbands and wives—mothers and fathers—will be held accountable before God for the discharge of these obligations.”

With this belief in mind, Sister Amy came to know about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in one occasion. She learned about the restored gospel and the Church teachings humbly, working hard in ensuring her home is a safe and warm place that her family can go to, no matter what circumstances happened.

Please do come in and listen what she would like to share with you.

May it be our resolve this year to build a gospel-centred home, a safe harbour from the storms of the adversary.

家與家庭的重要 。永恆的家庭

~ 林李鳳珠 姐妹

家, 对您有什么意义?

您心目中的家庭,又是什麼模样的?

在這動盪不安的世界,我們從未如此需要將家庭視為生活的中心,並將之置於一切事物之首

家庭是神所制定。

家庭是天父計畫的中心。

「家庭:致全世界文告」中的一番話,闡明了父母對家庭的責任:

「夫妻肩負神聖的責任要彼此相愛、彼此照顧,也要愛護和照顧他們的兒女。『兒女是耶和華所賜的產業』(詩篇127:3)。父母有神聖的職責,要在愛與正義中教養兒女,提供他們屬世和屬靈所需要的,教導他們彼此相愛、彼此服務、遵守神的誡命,並且不論住在何處,都要做一個守法的國民。丈夫和妻子──母親和父親──將在神前為履行這些義務負責。」

凭着对这个信念,林李鳳珠姐妹接触与认识了耶稣基督后期圣徒教会,她谦卑与虚心的学习,努力履行家庭責任的同時,讓自己的家成為温煖,安全和家人躲避暴風雨的避難所。

請務必進來,聽聽她想與您分享的內容与见证。

但願今年我們能下定決心,建立一個以福音為中心的家庭、一個安全港灣,能抵擋敵對勢力的暴風雨。
