Become A Parent, Start a Trend

Just as with clothes and pop culture their are current parenting as well. Some couples choose not to become parents, some delay having children through different forms of birth control, many have fewer children,  some parents are less involved in their children's lives, parenting is often denigrated, and many modern parents disregard their children's needs.  While we know that the world's view of parenting is ever changing and in most countries has become an option rather than a priority, the prophets teach  us differently.  President Harold B. Lee said, "the most important of the Lord's work that you will ever do will be the work you do within the walls of your own home.....the MOST important work is within the walls of your home." Becoming parents is a commandment and like all of our Heavenly Father's will come with challenges as we live it, but the joy that we receive as a result will surpass any challenges. Reset the right trend. Have children. Don't delay having children and have as many as the Lord directs you to have. Be there for your children. As a wise father says in this video, "He has this wonderful plan and as we faithfully follow that plan, he will help us." We will receive great blessings as we raise children and we will begin to understand who our Heavenly Father is and how much he loves us.
