Chapter 4: Strengthening and Preserving Family - Kelly 2/16/2014

Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Fielding Smith

"It is the will of the Lord to strengthen and preserve the family unit."

1.The family is the most important organization in time or in eternity.

The Church exists to help the family.

2. The Lord instituted the family to endure eternally.

Have a close relationship with your kids and family members. They should feel comfortable coming to talk to you about anything. We were put in family units to help each other along the way. 

3. We strengthen and preserve our families as we spend time together, love each other, and live the gospel together.

It can be hard to host friends and family all the time, but if you allow your children to have their friends over to hang out, then your kids won't need to text and be on facebook as much. They would rather spend time with their friend who is over. Try to be more present this week. Put down the phone and have a real conversation.
