Marriage and Family Relations Class
Dear ward friends:
This Saturday evening from 7 - 8 pm in the cultural hall of our ward building we will have the first in a series of fireside discussions about ways that we can grow in our relationships, including our marriages and our parenting. Future discussions may include special guests and other topics relevant to your relationships.
Elder Bednar has recently taught that revelation and inspiration is more likely to come to participants that have used their agency to prepare in certain ways for a meeting or discussion. As a Sunday School Presidency, and under the direction of the Bishop, we testify that you will receive guidance specific to your current experiences and the Holy Ghost will prompt you in specific ways that will bring greater joy in your most important relationships.
The focus of our discussion this Saturday will be based on impressions you have while pondering the documents - "The Family: A Proclamation to the World" and "For Time and All Eternity" a discourse on the roles of husbands and wives and fathers and mothers in families. Links are provided below.
Here are a few questions you might consider as you prepare for our discussion:
1. How planned, thoughtful and intentional are you in cultivating your friendship with your spouse (or other loved ones)?
2. When was the last time you had a conversation about one another's needs and desires?
3. As you read one or both of these articles, what has the Spirit whispered to you are your roles and what step(s) you might take to grow in some aspect?
4. Ponder what precisely is your potential. What does God want you to become? Think about some of the details of that becoming. Is there something you feel prompted to focus on today?
Here is the link to "The Family: A Proclamation to the World" delivered in the General Relief Society meeting on September 23, 1995, almost 20 years ago.
Here is the link to President Packer's discourse: "For Time and All Eternity" delivered in October Conference in 1993. You can also watch the video of his talk.
Look forward to being edified together,
Tim Zeidner
