As I go to school at BYU-Idaho, sometimes I feel that I am very similar to everyone else regarding the goals and aspirations that I have for my life. Yet after reading about the trends that our current society is engaging in such as higher divorce, people putting off marriage, and a lower birth rate. When I learned about the trends that our society is going towards, I realized that right now I am in a unique situation; I am surrounded by people who are different than the majority of society. I also realized how prophetic and needed The Family: A Proclamation to the World was. There is more to it than just some old men reflecting on the traditional families that they were raised in. Instead, this outline of a traditional family has been created by the Lord and it is where children can learn the most and thrive. I am thankful to know this and I believe it helps me set more ideal and realistic goals based on what the Lord would have me do in my family.
Here is the link to the Proclamation:
