A boy and girl bird fall in love. They begin making a nest together for their future family. They make sure that the nest is in a safe location, that it is big enough, and that it will be very strong. They work very hard together to create the best nest possible for their children.
It would be wonderful if all families could start out this way. We should always be preparing for our family. It would be extremely hard for the birds to raise children, if they didn't first have a nest to put their eggs in. Husbands and wives need to work together. So much more will get done and the outcome will be far better than what could have been done by only one person.
Husbands and wives need to put each other first. When their friendship and love for each other is strong, then it really benefits the whole family.
An awesome quote that was shared in class was "you can never get enough of what you don't need because what you don't need will never/cannot satisfy you". So true!! We waist a lot of time trying to buy the best things or look a certain way. Those things will never bring us lasting happiness. What will is our relationships with our family members. We need to focus on helping each other, getting to know one another better, and simply loving every member of our family. When we do this a lot of our stress will go away and Heavenly Father will be able to help us with the rest.
One more thing is culture. There are many ways to live life. The different ways can bring beauty. It's awesome how many kind of nests, birds, and songs are in the world. We need to be careful that the culture we are living a righteous one. Just because other nests are made of barbed wire, are where cats can easily get to them, or are sloppily made, that does NOT mean they are ok. Somethings are wrong even when many people don't think so or the law might even say otherwise. We need to keep checking ourselves to make sure what we are doing is in line with God's commandments. When they are we know we will be ok. Obeying the commandments brings blessings like protection and guidance. I for surely want those blessings for my family.
