The Family: A Proclamation to the World - Paragraph Six

Hello Children,

I hope you have noticed a theme going on so far. Marriage and family is most important to our Heavenly Father. He wants us to make the right choices that help bring us closer to Him. He knows the temptations we will face, but He's here for us.

"HUSBAND AND WIFE have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other and for their children. “Children are an heritage of the Lord” (Psalm 127:3). Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, and to teach them to love and serve one another, observe the commandments of God, and be law-abiding citizens wherever they live. Husbands and wives—mothers and fathers—will be held accountable before God for the discharge of these obligations." - The Family: A Proclamation to the World

You are my greatest accomplishment. Daddy and I are so excited to have 3 beautiful children to be a part of our family. I feel that this paragraph is one of the easiest to understand. Daddy and I have a job to love and care for each other and the 3 of you. We have the sacred duty to teach you what is right, show you love, provide for you physically, spiritually, and I believe emotionally. These days it is so relevant to teach you service through the love of God, keep the commandments, and be law-abiding citizens. There are so many scary things going on in this world and I hope that we are teaching you the things you need to return to Him. I know that we are responsibly for your upbringing and we only want what is best for you.

“And again, inasmuch as parents have children in Zion, or in any of her stakes which are organized, that teach them not to understand the doctrine of repentance, faith in Christ the Son of the living God, and of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of the hands, when eight years old, the sin be upon the heads of the parents” (Doctrine and Covenants 68:25).

Love,

Mommy
