Why are families so important?
Elder L. Tom Perry of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles shares some of his thoughts on this subject.
-
Families lie at the center of our Heavenly Father’s plan.
-
You are part of that eternal unit that requires your best effort.
-
Continue building lasting, loving relationships for all family members.
-
Be certain you bring warmth, kindness, understanding, consideration, and a strong love to your 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.
