Importance of Family

The family is the most important social unit in society. There is teaching, learning and growing in the family. 

Here are some great quotes about the family and the importance of them. 

1. “Indeed, nothing is more critically connected to happiness—both our own and that of our children—than how well we love and support one another within the family.” —M. Russell Ballard
2. “The family is the most important organization in time or in eternity. Our purpose in life is to create for ourselves eternal family units.” —Joseph Fielding Smith
3. “The family is one of God’s greatest fortresses against the evils of our day. Help keep your family strong and close and worthy of our Father in Heaven’s blessings. As you do, you will receive faith and strength which will bless your lives forever.” —Ezra Taft Benson
4. “The key to strengthening our families is having the Spirit of the Lord come into our homes. The goal of our families is to be on the strait and narrow path.” —Robert D. Hales
5. “Let us be more determined to make [righteous] homes, to be kinder husbands, more thoughtful wives, more exemplary to our children, determined that in our homes we are going to have just a little taste of heaven here on this earth.” —David O. McKay
6. “Family life is the best method for achieving happiness in this world, and it is a clear pattern given to us from the Lord about what is to be in the next world.” —Spencer W. Kimball
7. “In a world of turmoil and uncertainty, it is more important than ever to make our families the center of our lives and the top of our priorities.” —L. Tom Perry
8. “God’s plan provides a way for family relationships to extend beyond the grave. We can return to the presence of God, eternally united with our families.” —Quentin L. Cook
9. “When we realize that parents and family members can be more than blood relations and are in very deed friends, then we will have a glimpse of how our Heavenly Father wants us to live, not only as brothers and sisters but as very close friends.” —Marvin J. Ashton
10. “Sometimes it is harder for us to smile at those who live with us, the immediate members of our families, than it is to smile at those who are not so close to us. Let us never forget: love begins at home.” —Mother Teresa

Our families are people we can lean on for love and support. We are able to strengthen one another if we create a loving environment for it.

Waiting Despite Popular Belief

1 Corinthians, chapter 7, verses 1-7 read:   Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.   Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.   The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.   Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.   But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.   For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that. There is a lot we can learn about this passage of scripture. I wanted to s...

When making a quilt you pick out fabric that goes with one another. If the patterns or colors clash, then you choose a different fabric. You also must choose the pattern of the quilt. Will you do simple squares, will you do rectangles? Will there me different shapes? How big will it be? All of this is decided before you make the quilt and usually before you go out and buy the fabric so that you know how much you need. The most recent quilt I made was for my best friend. It had camo fabric, elk fabric, deer fabric, and some solid blacks and browns mixed in with it. It was a simple quilt, with just squares and there was a certain order I laid out...
