Family Time

                Communities and nations are stronger when families in them are strong.  There are numerous ways to strengthen our families.  There is an old saying:  “Families that pray together stay together.”  This is true.  The saying could also be applied to other activities:  “Families that study the scriptures together stay together” or “Families that enjoy wholesome recreation together stay together” or “Families that go to church together stay together.” 

                I believe that families are strengthened by all these activities because the activities themselves strengthen families.  I also believe one of the keys to making families stronger is the word “together.”  Families must invest their time together in order to know each other.  I believe that it is best to be together physically, but I know how difficult it is with family members scattered all over the nation or even the world.  For this reason I am grateful for the modern conveniences such as telephones and the Internet as well as the postal service.

                I am starting my spring break and will be investing my time with my family; therefore, I may not have the opportunity to write on my blog every day.  I hope my regular readers understand and invest time with their own families.  We can bless our communities and nations by strengthening our own families.
