Love Your Family

Families are ordained of God and therefore in their own way are sacred. Our families should be the most important people on this Earth to us. Without our families, we would be utterly alone. Truly, they are the only people you can call upon for help or guidance. But that's how it should be. This is because you've grown up with them, learned about them and love them. What greater power is there than love?
Through even modern day prophets, God has expressed to us how important our families really are. When we think about it this way, that God says families are important, how does that make us as individuals look? We run around playing with friends all day while we could be assisting our mothers instead. Or we come up with excuses like practice for sports as to why you can't join the family for dinner.
Make time for your family each and everyday. They are the most valuable people in your life. Your parents are there to raise you in the values of the church and other virtues you should attain. Your siblings, no matter how annoying, teach you to love, be compassionate, and patient. All qualities you need later in life especially when you have a family of your own. Family also teaches you discipline in that you should make time in your schedule for time together.
Love your family and make sure you set aside time to be with them each and everyday.
