Protect Our Nestlings - Keeping our Families Safe

Is your family protected? That is the important question President Packer helps us consider in this story of looking out for those you love.

President Packer tells of a tragic scene he witnessed in his own backyard, where house finches made nests in the ivy. One day, he heard a group of finches cry out in alarm and saw a snake sliding out from behind the leaves. He knew the bulges in the snake’s body must have been baby finches taken from their nests

“Not in the 50 years we had lived in our home had we seen anything like that,” President Packer says.

His story illustrates the reality that even in our own homes we are vulnerable to the attacks of the adversary. It is vital that we take the necessary precautions to warn and protect our family members, especially children and teenagers.

As President Packer reminds us, “You will do no greater eternal work than within the walls of your own home.”

Out of all the folk i taught on my mission, i find the most challenging to help my family. Theyre inactive at the moment, but that wont stop me from continued work on them. This video helped reminded me to not stopnmy efforts on helping them get to the temple.

This message made me think that no matter how much and how good I teach the gospel at church or preach it to my friends, I´ve got to be the best teacher and preacher in my home, to my wife and to my kids, I´ve got to accept the responsability of nourishing them, more than anyone else, I´ve got to teach them about the gift of the holy Ghost and the atonement of Christ.

My most important work will be in the home, with my future husband and future children. I have a divine potential given to me to follow my heavenly parents.
While I am preparing to go on a mission and serving in my ward, are priorities to me, I know the plan of families is where we reap the most joy.

[bonniegranger]

Sad! We never think it could happen in our own homes. But it can, if we're not being mindful of the things we allow to enter.

Just when you think you are safe
Satan finds another way
Hold to what the prophets say
Safety comes to those who obey
