Families Are Forever
A home is much more than a house built of lumber, brick, or stone. A home is made of
love, sacrifice, and respect. We are responsible for the homes we build. We must
build wisely, for eternity is not a short
voyage. There will be calm and wind, sunlight and shadows, joy and sorrow. But if we
really try, our home can be a bit of heaven here on earth. The thoughts we think,
the deeds we do, the lives we live not only influence the success of our earthly
journey, they also mark the way to our eternal goals.
Some Latter-day Saint families are comprised of mother, father, and children, all
at home, while others have witnessed the tender departure of one, then another, then
another of their members. Sometimes a single individual comprises a family. Whatever
its composition, the family continues - -
for families can be forever.
