This week I was driving in the car by myself when I heard an ad come on the radio. The ad was for the actual radio station trying to encourage more people to listen to the radio. A woman came on the radio who sounded like she was in her early 20's. She made a statement that has stuck with me all week. She said, "Some people turn to God but I turn to music. Some people turn to prayer but I turn to song." I was so caught of guard by this ad that I have not been able to shake this all week long. I remember a time not to long ago when things like this were not heard of. When people had a faith in God and a desire to turn to him during rough times.

In our church one of the things the church has counseled us to do is have what we call "Family Home Evening". This is a time where once a week you gather your family together and have a night dedicated to spending time with your family and teaching your kids things that will bring them closer to our Heavenly Father. Tonight for our Family Home Evening we discussed with our 4 year old and our 2 year old the importance of having a faith in God. The importance of having a belief in the all knowing and all loving Father in Heaven. It is becoming very difficult for us and even more difficult for our children to remember our faith throughout the day. We get hit at all angles through out the day and it is difficult to stay true to our faith.

In Luke chapter 21 it talks about "Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth:" During these times of difficulty and uncertainty there is one thing that will never change and never be uncertain. That is the love of our God and the forgiving power of his son Jesus Christ. For some it may appear that nothing in their life is certain or stable. I can promise that through the Savior Jesus Christ and our loving Heavenly Father we can all find certainty and stability in our lives. When one comes to know God and his plan for his children that person will find purpose and meaning in life. I have seen this in my own life and in many others lives around me.

This life can be very difficult to understand and to get through but with the God our father and the Savior Jesus Christ in our life we will find direction and purpose. They are the compass that guide us through the winds and storms of the ocean. I know that now more than ever it is important for us to teach our children. I am amazed at our little 4 year old and how much she remembers. There have been many times when I have been driving in the car and my 4 year old has mentioned something she learned at church or during Family Home Evening. Lastly, I found a video that I found very appropriate for this post. I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for following our blog. Please continue to read, follow, and share to help others feel the love of the Savior.
