This week in class we have been discussing the different
trends that are happening today in our society relating to families. It is sad
how many of the trends are negatively affecting the structure of family. For
example, it is sad that it has become more common for people not to have as
many children in the past, or not even have children at all. I am thankful to
have the knowledge of the gospel. I know the importance of having and raising a
family and the happiness that it will bring.
“My dear brother and sisters, may the laughter of children
gladden our hearts. May the faith of children sooth our souls. May the love of
children prompt our deeds. ‘Children are an heritage of the Lord' (Ps. 127:3)” - Thomas S. Monson “Precious
Children- A Gift for God,” Ensign, Nov. 1991, 70
