Testimony of Family

How has family impacted my life? Well if you realise that without family, where are you? who are you? What are you? You become a human being that is lost, alone, and "different".

Familys are your guide, your literal liahona, your personal vessel though life. They direct you on a pathway that allows you to make personal desisions and keep you afloat if it wasn't a "great" decision. 

As a child you had no idea and never understood the concept of what your parents do for you. Most will never really understand what they did for you. The sacrifices your parents make for you. The home that little children resides in is their world. Who provided that world? Your parents. Not understanding that your parents made sacrifices for the food they eat and the bed they sleep in.

They sacrifice so much so you can be happy, so that you can live a good life. They are your liahona, your guide. The first thing that a child sees when they are born, is either the doctor, or the dad. When the child reaches the mother/father. It becomes calm, its found peace. It realises that it is safe. Parents make you into the person you become, they are ALWAYS there for you.

You will never understand fully the love your parents have for you, until... you become one. You support your child on the choices they make, good or bad, and you still love them. They always forgive you for your mistakes. without your parents. Where would you be?

TESTIMONY:

Without my family and my parents, my life would be signifigantly different. i most likely would not be a member of the church, because i wouldnt be exposed to it. I would be alone, i would be lost. Their constant prayers for me and my sibilings that we would turn out okay.. worked.

How do i return my love for them? My appreciation for them? You do things for them, you love them, you be the best child you can be. They are molding you into the person you become, they are your vessel, your liohona, and a Mold/Cast. Without their mold, you become a puddle, disorganized, confused. they litterally mold you into YOU. You will NEVER be able to repay for what they have done for you. Gold willingly let his Son sacrofice himself for us, his brothers and sisters. He had so much love for us he allowed his son to bear all of our sorrows. so that everyone can live with their familys for eternity. Parrents are your life, they are important. Without them, I can't even imagine where i would be.
