Sisters,
This week in Relief Society, we will be discussing Chapter 14 in the Ezra Taft Benson manual, "Marriage and Family -- Ordained of God".
President Benson teaches, "[t]he Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints views the family as the most important organization in time and all eternity. The Church teaches that everything should center in and around the family." Sisters, these are bold and powerful principles!
He also taught, "God intended the family to be eternal. With all my soul, I testify to the truth of that declaration. May He bless us to strengthen our homes and the lives of each family member so that in due time we can report to our Heavenly Father in His celestial home that we are all there -- father, mother, sister, brother, all who hold each other dear. Each chair is filled. We are all back home."
On Sunday we will discuss these principles and share ways we can practice and teach these things in our own homes and to our own families so that we will have no empty chairs in the eternities.
