This week in class we talked about how the world is being more tolerant of television shows, music, and media in general.  A girl in class gave an example of her and her roommates.  Her roommates watch the movie Modern Family.  There is a gay couple in the show.  She at first did not like the show and did not want to watch it.  Her roommates watched it, so she tolerated it and started watching it with them.  Next thing she knew she was enjoying the show with them.  This is an example of “first we abhor, then we tolerate, then we embrace.”  I know that statement to be true in the life of others and in my own life.  It is hard to stay strong sometimes when everyone around you are not living the way they should.  I love this quote;

"Be certain that every decision you make, whether temporal or spiritual, is conditioned on what the Savior would have you do. When He is the center of your home, there is peace and serenity. There is a spirit of assurance that pervades the home, and it is felt by all who dwell there."

"The fulfillment of this counsel does not rest upon parents alone, although it is their role to lead. Children can be responsible for improving the Christ-centered efforts in the home. It is important for parents to teach children to recognize how their actions affect each individual who lives in the home. Children who are made to feel accountable for their actions, whether righteous or otherwise, grow to become trustworthy citizens in the kingdom of God."

For Peace at Home

If we simply think about Christ in all of our decisions in life then we will be blessed, and we will always make the right decisions!
