Be Strong. Live the Gospel.

It’s one of those mornings where I woke up to the sound of thunder and rain pattering on my window violently. Colby woke a few hours ago and headed up north to get some wood for custom bedroom sets for the store. I was alone in my dark bedroom just listening to the storm that raged outside the walls of my home. The longer I laid there, the more my mind began to race…

I began to think about the storm that rages outside our churches, our homes, or the comfort of our families. The violent storm the adversary tries to creep into the hearts and minds of my children, my life, and someday my grand-children’s lives. While I may think by going to church and saying family prayers with my children is enough, I don’t believe it is. What can I do better to strengthen my home? What can I do better to help my children gain a firm testimony of the gospel? Will my children be prepared to defend their beliefs when storms arrive or the adversary tempts them?

I have been following a wonderful blog for a few years now. I look up to this woman and envy her ability to cherish her role as a mother and also her ability to help her children gain a testimony. Recently she posted her family theme for the year.

I decided to purchase this exact theme a few days ago and I am hoping to display it in my home shortly. Of course I ordered it in red, but the meaning is still the same.

I want my children to be strong and live the gospel no matter what life may bring them. I want to help them build a firm foundation (while helping build my own). Today is Friday and I have made it a goal over the weekend to develop some ideas with Colby, so next week we can begin a new week with ideas on how to accomplish this goal. I pray my kids will stay strong in the gospel and gain their own testimony so someday they will be able to defend their beliefs. No matter what.
