On Family Day we had our second annual reading of this beautiful book! I love this book so much and can't praise it enough. I'm so happy that after we read it last year, Leonard suggested we read it together every year on Family Day. I wish I could afford to give it to every single person on the planet!
It starts off, "We each belong to and are needed in the family of God." Isn't that a powerful statement! It then goes on to teach about families:
Families Are Divine
Families Begin With Parents
Families Need A Home
Families Nurture Children
Families Thrive With Love
Families Counsel Together
Families Help Each Other
Families Work And Play
Families Learn And Develop Talents
Families Create And Celebrate
Families Forgive
Families Strive For Unity
Families Connect To Heaven
Families Are Forever
It finishes with, "Some have questioned our concept of a mother in heaven, but no home, no church, no heaven would be complete without a mother there." Yes, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe that we are children of a Heavenly Father and a Heavenly Mother and I think that is the most beautiful doctrine!
You can find the book HERE and I hope you add it to your collection!
