What your children really want for dinner is you!

In an age of constant online connection, we may need to disconnect from technologies and other distractions to truly reconnect with our families.

Families grow stronger when they set aside these distractions and spend meaningful time together—learning eternal values like the importance of marriage and children, the purpose of life, and the true source of joy.

Parents also have a duty to teach their children practical knowledge apart from gospel principles. Families unite when they do meaningful things together. Happy family experiences strengthen family ties. Camping, sports activities, and other recreation are especially valuable for bonding families.

Some may say, “But we have no time for any of that.” To find time to do what is truly worthwhile, many parents will find that they can turn their families on if they all turn their technologies off.

What those we love need most is simply time with us. Our Savior, Jesus Christ, is our ultimate role model. He will help us as we strive to build these family bonds.

@RyanQualtrics I’d love to bring my 5 year old and take his love for Hockey past the Mighty Ducks level. There are probably more deserving people but we’d have a blast.

[Matt Gardner @Mattalytics7]

@TheTriarii Yeah what’s the Great Basin culture?

[Matt Gardner @Mattalytics7]

@TheTriarii Too much fondue eh? Or too much chocolate?

[Matt Gardner @Mattalytics7]

@microsamonomics Which I don’t think we’d agree with.

[Matt Gardner @Mattalytics7]

@stev3bowen Trying to watch Outdoor Boys and the 5 year old doesn’t worry about the wolves anymore, just the horror film commercials.

@jkimballcook @ASFleischman Not my favorite comment of yours, but, I do understand the frustration.

"Man was also in the beginning with God." — Doctrine and Covenants 93:29

Isaiah noticed habits of destructive behaviors in his life. As he started researching different religions, none of them had quite what he was looking for. When he learned the doctrinal principle of a premortal life, he knew that’s what he was looking for.

How has the knowledge of the premortal life strengthened your testimony? #GreaterLove

What does it mean that my 5 year old has these same Nike sweats?

[The Deseret Stone @DeseretStone]

Focused. Hydrating. Favorite podcast on. Dressed and ready.

Looks like Nicolas is taking his New Year’s resolution to go to the gym seriously.

[Matt Gardner @Mattalytics7]

@Tjonesonthenba Yeah those players were a problem, even as Frosh/Sophs.

[Matt Gardner @Mattalytics7]

@TheTriarii Were you/we in Metz when ‘Safety for the Soul’ was delivered?

[Matt Gardner @Mattalytics7]

Does Whittingham go to Michigan?

[Matt Gardner @Mattalytics7]

Must protect the ball boys at all costs.

IMO, this is a really terrible perspective that your mental health is dependent on society (millions of other people) changing before you get right.

[Matt Gardner @Mattalytics7]

@millerjryan Thanks for all your coverage. Look forward to reading your stuff from your next chapter.

[Clint Teeples @TeeplesCY]

I can’t think of a single area of life where these scriptures don’t apply.

[Matt Gardner @Mattalytics7]

@stev3bowen Thinking him wanting to go out on top might be a drag. Is that what you mean?

[Matt Gardner @Mattalytics7]

Enjoy that eternal rest President Russel M Nelson.

Man I loved Buc-ee’s in Texas! Glad to have it close to home again.

The beaver-themed travel stop chain Buc-ee's that has stolen the hearts of thousands of people in Texas and beyond is expanding to Springville. (And yes, this time, it's for real!) https://t.co/g1XA8surAd
