Families Can Be Together Forever.
PerDev. 4th term Journal 3. March 16, 2021
The family is the smallest yet the most pivotal part in the growth of its members and also in the community it belongs.
Every individual is shaped by their families. It is a way for our Heavenly Father to let us feel his love here in earth in the form of our families. This has always been the genesis of everything and every aspect of our individuality, though not all, it cannot be denied that it has become a huge influence in trying to determine our capabilities, talents, and also our limits.
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and in our church, families can be together for ever, even death will not come between in this eternal perspective. We are taught of the importance of our families, despite trials and misunderstandings, we still strive to do good and uplift or even chastise ill-advised manners by the respective members. Our belief has brought us great joy because we know that our family, if we do good, can also be sealed together in the next life, and that is an assurance worth working-on.
Families are unique in a way that no family is the same, despite the same seed, a family will always vary in growth and in flourishing. It had been the main point of attack by trials and tribulations, may it be in the emotional, mental, physical, spiritual, and financial aspect. If a family is to break or highlight incoordination, it will inevitably leave scars in every member. Families are also filled with people who you can look-up to and can be your source of strength, as part of the generations of Filipino Culture, it has always been acknowledged that our families are irreplaceable nor tradable.
My family, though not perfect, strives to love one another and to live by what we firmly stand.
