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
