The Importance of the Family

May it be our resolve to build a gospel-centered home, a safe harbor from the storms of the adversary. -L. Tom Perry,



Today Nate and I had the opportunity to attend a funeral of a man in the ward. He was not active and most of his family had nothing to do with the church. The service was more of a wake than a funeral. People got up and talked about him and were so very sad. At that moment I realized how precious the gospel is to me and my family. As parents we have such a great obligation to teach our children the things the Lord has put in place to protect our families from the storms that lay a head.
