God gave us families

Have you ever noticed how many times a reference to family is mentioned in Granny and Grandpa's personal histories? Let's just say dozens of times. That's because for them family is everything.

Families are how God shares his love.

The Great Plan of Happiness

“No other success can compensate for failure in the home.” ― David O. Mckay

“The most important of the Lord's work you will ever do will be the work you do within the walls of your own home.” ― Harold B. Lee

God gave us families to help us become what he knows we can be.

Use us. That's what we are here for.



Verse 1:
Our Father has a family, it's me! It's you, all-others too: we are his children.
He sent each one of us to earth, through birth, to live and learn here in families.

Chorus:
God gave us families to help us become what he wants us to be.
This is how he shares his love, for the family is of God.

Verse 2:
A father's place is to preside, provide, to love and teach the gospel to his children.
A father leads in family prayer to share their love for Father in Heaven.

Verse 3:
A mother's purpose is to care, prepare, to nurture and to strengthen all her children.
She teaches children to obey, to pray, to love and serve in the family.

Verse 4:
I'll love and serve my family and be a good example to each family member.
And when I am a mom or dad, so glad, I’ll help my family remember.
