The Rhodehouse Family

Sunday, June 27, 2010

My scheduled date is July 20th. Just a few weeks away!! It really seems like it has gone by so fast. I don't mind being pregnant, but I am ready for my body to be back to normal.

My parents are planning on getting the kids on the 13th of July and keeping them until the week after Isabella is born. It'll be nice to have a few days recovery time.Plus my parents will get to see their new grandbaby. I think the kids are getting pretty excited as well. It will be so nice to have such helpers. Katrina has already decided that she wants to wake up to get the baby at night and rock her. If only it could work out that way. Carter has decided that he wants to stroll Isabella around in the stroller. It's fun listening to the things they want to help out with. Well anyway this is the update.

Families are ordained of God. They are the most important social unit in time and in eternity.

God has established families to bring happiness to His children, allow them to learn correct principles in a loving atmosphere, and prepare them to return to Him after they die. Because families are ordained of God, they are the most important social unit in time and in eternity.
Marriage (Genesis 2:18) and family ( Genesis 1:28) are central focal points in God’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children. Your Heavenly Father wants you to do all you can during your time on Earth to prepare yourself to live in an eternal family.
Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on sound principles, like those that Jesus Christ taught. These principles include faith in Jesus Christ, prayer, repentance?, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities. A home established on gospel principles is a place of refuge and safety, where the Spirit of the Lord? can abide, blessing family members with peace, joy, and happiness (“ The Family: A Proclamation to the World”).
No marriage or family is perfect. When dealing with challenging relationships, it may help to remember that each person on this earth is a beloved son or daughter of God and has a divine nature and destiny. Learning to love and serve your family members, as Christ taught, will help you become more like your Heavenly Father and will help you prepare to live with Him again in an eternal family.
