The above video, explains how important it is to have a close, loving family.
A few semesters back, I took a class called Family Foundations. In this class, one of the assignments was to memorize The Family: A Proclamation to the World by the end of the semester. I really struggled with this at first. I didn't see the point in why we needed to memorize it other than to receive a passing grade. As I started to memorize it, my heart was changed. I grew to love and appreciate every single word that was written in the Proclamation. I do not remember every word that is written in the proclamation today, but I remember quite a few phrases. If you have not had the time to read through the Proclamation fully, and to ponder the words that are written, then I would suggest that you do so. I am extremely grateful that I was given the opportunity to memorize the Proclamation, and because of that experience, my testimony on the family has been strengthened immensely.
In, Successful Marriages and Families, it states, " The proclamation has been translated into more than 80 languages and distributed to thousands of citizens and leaders around the world." I think that it is amazing that it is translated into so many different languages for those around the world to read. I carry a little copy of the Proclamation in my scriptures. If you do not have one, I suggest you get one. For as long as I can remember, my parents have always had The Family: A Proclamation to the World hanging on a wall in our home. It is a great reminder on how we should love, care for, and honor our families.
