Makenna gave a talk in church today.

Today my talk is about strengthening my family. An eternal family is a husband, wife and child that are sealed together in a permanent relationship for time and all eternity.

Joseph F. Smith said "Let, love, peace, and the spirit of the Lord, kindness, charity, sacrifice for others abound in your families. Banish harsh words and let the spirit of God take possession of your hearts. Teach your children these things in spirit and power. Not one child in a hundred would stray, if the home environment, example and training were in harmony with the gospel of Christ."

My dad says that one of my best strengths is that I am almost always happy and cheerful. That helps other family members be happy and cheerful too. One Monday night we forgot all about family home evening, but I remembered and even though we had a last minute lesson and an unprepared activity, we had a great time.

On vacation this summer I brought my scriptures and I would read them in the morning. Several people noticed and remembered to read their scriptures too. You can also strengthen your family by remembering family prayer and scripture study.
