Last week at church, our newly called bishopric spoke during sacrament meeting. The topic that they were asked to speak on was creating more love in our homes.
I was so impressed my their comments that I wanted to write them down while they were still fresh in my mind.
Satan is trying so hard to break up the most important “thing” on earth: the family. Our bishopric wants each family to create more love in our homes and families.
They expressed that we need to strengthen our marriages. To love our spouses and to be fiercely devoted.
They challenged us to pray together as families. Pray for love and guidance. They wanted us to teach our children from the scriptures. Teach them like our lives depended on it. They do.
Another excellence reminder was to do wholesome family activities. Sure, teaching your children is important. Working together is important. But playing together is of the utmost importance. Laughing, wrestling, “nicely” teasing is essential to an eternal family.
The last point they made, the one that stuck with me the most, was TIME. Sacrificing things that don’t matter to be together. The most I can give my kids is my TIME.
many of these exact same thoughts have been rolling across my mind lately. Actually bore my testimony about time, priorities and scriptures yesterday. Funny how it all works together. Time really is our most precious commodity. Can't be bought, sold, traded, earned, taken or given. We can only share it with those that matter most.
