Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!
Our family relationships shape both our joy now and the life we hope to share in eternity. As we worship in the temple and learn about our ancestors, we strengthen those relationships and invite God’s power into our homes.
Scripture
“Foreshadowing the great work to be done in the temples of the Lord in the dispensation of the fulness of times, for the redemption of the dead, and the sealing of the children to their parents, lest the whole earth be smitten with a curse and utterly wasted at his coming.”—Doctrine & Covenants 138:48
Quote
“Family is the center of life and is the key to eternal happiness.”—L. Tom Perry, “Why Marriage and Family Matter—Everywhere in the World”

Living the Principle: Eternal Families, Eternal Joy
- Choose one family relationship that needs more care. Reach out today with a thoughtful message, apology, or act of service.
- Set aside time this week for temple or family history work. Choose one specific name, record, or ordinance to focus on.
- Share a meaningful family story with someone you love. Talk about what that experience teaches your family about faith, sacrifice, or belonging.
