a Family Photo Essay.

When you read a line in the proclamation, does it stand out to you because of something in your family?  Can you illustrate some of the proclamation with photos from your family?

Using our wedding photos, the following illustrate sentences from the Family Proclamation that stand out to me.

“… marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children.”

“Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny.”

“Sacred ordinances and covenants available in holy temples make it possible for individuals to return to the presence of God and for families to be united eternally.”

“Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, and to teach them to love and serve one another, observe the commandments of God, and be law-abiding citizens wherever they live.”

“Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ.”

“Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities.”

This post was inspired by these blogs, as they blog about the Family Proclamation and celebrating the family unit.
