The Family: A Proclamation to the World - Paragraph Three

Hello Children,

Today I'm going to talk to you about paragraph three in The Family: A Proclamation to the World and why it is so important. 

IN THE PREMORTAL REALM, spirit sons and daughters knew and worshipped God as their Eternal Father and accepted His plan by which His children could obtain a physical body and gain earthly experience to progress toward perfection and ultimately realize their divine destiny as heirs of eternal life. The divine plan of happiness enables family relationships to be perpetuated beyond the grave. Sacred ordinances and covenants available in holy temples make it possible for individuals to return to the presence of God and for families to be united eternally.- The Family: A Proclamation to the World

God's plan was in place far before we came to this earth. His plan included him dying for us, so that we could return to Him again one day. His plan was for us to obtain a body and come to earth to have a family and be sealed to them for eternity. While on earth I have, and I hope you will also, make sacred covenants with the Lord. Other than the covenants you make at baptism, the rest will be done in a holy temple. 

Heavenly Father is already perfect. Our goal is to become like Him. In order for this to happen we need to work hard. Working hard includes making good choices by keeping the commandments, showing love to others, being an example, and sharing the gospel with others. Our time on earth is unknown, but as long as we are doing our best and praying to Heavenly Father for help, he will know your true intentions. 

Always lead your friends and family members by example. 

“In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;” (Titus 1:2).

Love, 

Mommy
