My Family Proclamation

To join in the celebration of Family 2011 I have been inspired to post a photo story of my family and how we have been influenced & guided by The Family: A Proclamation to the World. Enjoy! 

"Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny."

"We further declare that God has commanded that the sacred powers of procreation are to be employed only between man and woman, lawfully wedded as husband and wife."

"...spirit sons and daughters knew and worshipped God as their Eternal Father and accepted His plan..."

"Sacred ordinances and covenants available in holy temples make it possible for individuals to return to the presence of God and for families to be united eternally."

"THE FIRST COMMANDMENT that God gave to Adam and Eve pertained to their potential for parenthood as husband and wife."

"HUSBAND AND WIFE have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other..."

"... and for their children."

"THE FAMILY is ordained of God."

Thanks to the many bloggers of "Celebrate Family 2011" who have all inspired me to blog and reflect upon the blessings of being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
