Helping Your Family Keep an Eternal Perspective

Growing up I remember my Mother telling my sisters and I, "Earth life goes by in a blink of an eye...stay true to yourself and what you have been taught." Never has that advice been more important than in today's world. We have everything we want and need right at our fingertips, we are busier than ever, and everyone is trying to keep up with the Joneses. So what can you do to help the members of your family retain an Eternal Perspective?


We, as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, have been blessed with amazing leaders who lead and guide us in these troubling times. We need to remember to take advantage of their teachings and apply them to our daily lives. Heeding their counsel will help us stay grounded and focused on what is really important.

Life at times can become foggy and stormy and you can easily lose direction. If we stand firm and strong like a lighthouse and shine our light for all to see, we can be examples to others around us.

So what can we do in order to keep an eternal perspective in such a temporal world?

• Visit the temple regularly
• Attend all church meetings
• Pray daily
• Have individual and family scripture study
• Family Home Evening
• Family dinners
• Separate yourself from people or materials that can harm or dull your spirituality or judgment

"Let will be your reason!"

-Ancient Proverb

"Like a Lighthouse"
by Michael Webb

Built on solid stone
Shedding light on weary seaman,
who have drifted far from home
So many paths
so many rows,
so hard to tell which way it goes,
sometimes, lost at sea...
