Mommy wants to share some very important information with you that I'm learning in my religion class. In 1995, The Family: A Proclamation to the World was shared with all members of the Church. This important message was given before it's time and is focused on the family and marriage. Each paragraph has a different message and I want to share them with you, along with my thoughts.
"
WE, THE FIRST PRESIDENCY and the Council of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, solemnly proclaim that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children." - The Family: A Proclamation to the World
Why is the family such an important part of God's plan? God's has put a plan in place to lead us to eternal life. Through the plan of salvation, we are given a chance to return to be with God. As a part of Heavenly Father's plan, we are given a family. Our family will give us happiness and joy, but also teach us the Gospel and to live righteously. The Church is here to guide us and teach us the things we need to do in order to return to live with Him. Gender is also important and I will share more of that with you in the next post.
I love you each and want to guide you on a path of happiness and help you to live with your Heavenly Father once again.
“But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder” (Mark 10: 6–9).
Love,
Mommy
