OCTOBER PRESIDENCY MESSAGE:

For the month of October we are focusing on “Establishing a Christ-centered home.” 

What a great time to be thinking about this with conference this month.  We will each be spiritually fed by the prophet and apostles.  We understand and believe in the eternal nature of the family.  This understanding should inspire us to do everything in our power to establish a Christ-centered home. 

Our eternal happiness is not one of Satan’s objectives.  He knows that an essential key to making men and women miserable like himself is to deprive them of family relationships which have eternal potential.  Because Satan understands that true happiness in this life and in the eternities is found in the form of family, he does everything in his power to destroy it.  We do not want this.

Learning, teaching, and practicing the principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ in our homes helps create a culture where the Spirit can dwell.  Through establishing these celestial traditions in our homes, we will be able to overcome the false traditions of the world and learn to put the needs and concerns of others first.

When parents preside over the family in love and righteousness and teach their children the gospel of Jesus Christ by word and through example, and when children love and support their parents by learning and practicing the principles their parents teach, the result will be the establishment of a Christ-centered home.

I bear you my testimony that as you strive to do this, you will have more love in your family and in your homes and Christ will be in your homes and in your hearts. 

I pray that as you each listen to Conference, you will each gain a stronger testimony of this and many other things that you are each in need of at this time.

With Love, Jennifer, Tiffiny, Yvonne and Breann
