The Power of Family

Hi it's Steph Mom and I went to hear Sheri Dew speak it was supposed to be a single adult event but none of my single friends would go with me so I took mom it was in boulder. Her talk was so good on the family so I wanted to share. She made three main points 1 Something's are NOT possible but they happen anyway 2 we routienly run into more than we can handle so that we will learn to rely on the strength of the Lord. 3 there is a remarkable power in the family. nothing compares to the security of a righteous home. it may seem impossible to live a clean life in such a filthy world or to bring up a righteous family it is not easy but it is possible. Anything is possible with the Lord. She told a story of how the week before conference she was told that she needed to write a different talk and she had 3 days to do it. well her previous talk had taken her 100s of hours it's not possible! so she was stressed and her family all came together they had a special family fast and everything worked out fine her little nieces and nephews gained a strong testimony of fasting. it was a powerful experiance that really brought them together. So I was thinking that maybe our family could get together and have a special fast I don't know what for nobody has to be dying or anything but just something. I think it would be cool to have aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, all united in prayer and fasting over something or for someone. Tell me what you think?
