Robbie and I both need to get more sleep. Sleep deprivation has a large effect on the extent of my patience during the day. So, today will just be a quick entry.
Establishing a Christ-Centered Home by Richard J. Maynes
From The Family: A Proclamation to the World
"The family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity. Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ." ...
- The attack on the family is so strong now. The words of the Lord through our prophets and general authorities is so clear and simple. I love The Family: A Proclamation to the World
-Consistency is key!
"We learned that our children might not remember everything about the family home evening lesson later in the week, but they would remember that we held it. We learned that later in the day at school they would probably not remember the exact words of the scriptures or the prayer, but they would remember that we did read scriptures and we did have prayer. Brothers and sisters, there is great power and protection for us and our youth in establishing celestial traditions in the home."
"Learning, teaching, and practicing the principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ in our homes helps create a culture where the Spirit can dwell. Through establishing these celestial traditions in our homes, we will be able to overcome the false traditions of the world and learn to put the needs and concerns of others first."
- I need to plan, prepare and cultivate an environment so the Spirit can always dwell in our home. The greatest defense our children will have in the future!
