That the Lost May Be Found

I’m catching up on our lesson summaries so here is one from a couple weeks ago.

Julia taught a great lesson on Elder Ballard’s talk That the Lost May Be Found. (I have to tell you how much I love our RS lessons. The teachers are always the best and everyone has really great comments!)

Here are some of my notes from the lesson:

Benefits of marriage (as opposed to living together):

• Higher Satisfaction
• Sense of security
• Develop divine attributes
• Economic well-being

Benefits of having children in marriage:

• Stable environment
• Right amount of attention
• Children have an example of what marriage should be
• Teaches children how to interact
• We can be example to the world how families can be

Families working and playing

• When children are teenagers, limit time spent with friends. Have them spend time with the family and it helps with rebellion. (This was a comment from one of the sister’s mother.)
• Have wholesome recreational activities
• Teach Self Reliance
• By working and playing together you open opportunities for communication.
• Spend time serving in the community.

Put things in the perspective of the home. Outside activities should increase the strength of the home not pull it apart.
