The Corners of Our Home

One of my favorite songs  from the children songbook is entitled "We'll Bring the World his Truth".  And thus, the corners in our home has something to do with that song. Text in italics are taken from that song.

1. Marriage Corner

We have been born, as Nephi of old,

To goodly parents who love the Lord.
We have been taught, and we understand,

That we must do as the Lord commands

In our little office in our apartment, we have a picture taken during our wedding. I believe our example can do more to teach our children about the essentials of being married in the temple more than what we might say.

2. Institute Corner

We know his plan, and we will prepare,
Increase our knowledge through study and prayer.
Daily we'll learn until we are called
To take the gospel to all the world.

Even if we are already married, we still attend Institute Class. Improvement and progression don't have an end considering that we are imperfect beings. We want to establish the principle of gospel learning with our children as well. This will prepare them to be better missionaries and parents.

3. Missionary Corner

We have been saved for these latter days
To build the kingdom in righteous ways.
We hear the words our prophet declares:
"Let each who's worthy go forth and share."

We have this missionary picture and nametags on the table in our room. We want to instill in the minds of our children as young as they are about valuing service for the Lord. Most children have super heroes. It would be great if they have super mom and dad as their everyday heroes.
