The Meanings & Blessings of Family Work (ch. 21)

"Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principle of... work"

We can help ease each others burdens through family centered work. Doing so will bring blessings and opportunities. We learned in the last blog post that God gave us families to help us endure this life. We can do so by working together and working towards Christ. All family members are vital to family work. It is important to include children of all age in the work. A 5 year old's work may look different than a 15 year old but both are just as important towards helping the family function. As children mature the more work they will be able to take on. Children can learn responsibility from work. With everyone involved in the work the family is building up the home together. I have seen working together as a family connect us as a unit many times. When dad was out in the yard we were all out there doing out part. At the end of the day we could all look back and see what we accomplished all together. The hard work you learn as a child will carry through your life. When you get to marriage you are going to have to work hard for many spiritual, temporal or  physical things. Start practicing while you are young.
