How do we survive the next few weeks (or months), cooped up under one roof? How do we get along, and grow in unity, despite our differences, weaknesses and daily mistakes? We try to follow the teachings of the Lord, Jesus Christ. We look to the Family Proclamation for the fundamental principles that hold a family together: Faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities. It’s not enough to know them. We must continually strive for them. Look over these principles and identify one or two that are most needed in your home at this time. Then pray for them. And pray to know how to teach and implement them better.  Be patient with yourself and your family. Celebrate the little victories. This is a life-time pursuit.
