Family, Love within

 How we love our family is intricately connected with our relationship to the Savior and His Atonement. We cannot be fully His without loving our families in truth, sincerity and kindness. Be loyal, generous, and forgiving. The three greatest things to do for your family: nourish, comfort, and speak kindly and in this type of love you will abide in light and live joyfully. If you always have your family's "everlasting welfare" in mind, then it will be easier to do these things and together you will inherit all the Father has(love).

Family, Children, Responsibility Toward

 If we are to save each other through families, we must constantly be bringing peace to each other, or the light and truth of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. We must constantly lay claim on our Heavenly Father for guidance(for we are dependent on him in everything just as our children are dependent on us) and look to the scriptures to raise our children. Always focus on 5 simple core principles when teaching your children: faith, repentance, baptism, Holy Ghost, and endurance. There will be no greater joy than seeing your children walk in truth(just like Heavenly Father) and as you teach your children, you reinforce the truths in yourself, and then we truly save each other.
