Finances are so important to discuss within a family. I really learned a lot from the booklet "One for the Money". It has a lot of good information in it and counsel we should follow. In class we discussed how parents should share their finances with their children. I had never thought about this but thought it was such a great idea and something I want to implement into my own family. It is important to be careful with our finances, especially lately with the disasters happening. The tsunami in Japan has reminded me again how important it is to be preparing.
On Fathers- I really enjoyed writing the paper and digging deeper inside myself to realize the importance of fathers in everyone's life. A father is so important to a child. He is so important and crucial to be there to run the home. The best example of a father we have is our Father in Heaven. He loves us, is always there for us, is rooting for us, and wants to be desperately and actively involved in our lives.

Communication
I forgot to post this a week ago. I really liked talking about communication in this class because it is something that I have been really working on and getting better at this semester. Communication is so important within a family, especially between a husband and a wife. I think we can develop good communication within our dating relationships, and see if a person matches with you that way or can communicate well with you. One thing I have been trying to be better at is listening and really understanding the other person. I also haven't always been the best at communicating my feelings. My boyfriend has helped me out a lot with this. Every time we are trying to discuss something or I am trying to explain my feelings, he always repeats back to me what I said, and says: "So is this what you mean by this?" At first it really bugged me but now I see it really helps us make sure we are on the same page and that we are understanding each other.

God's Will
This week as we discussed family crisis's. I had many insights from this. How do we deal with them? FAITH, service, and putting your trust in God. Sometimes it seems impossible to get through something. Sometimes I have to take things one day at a time, sometimes one hour at a time, one minute at a time. Time heals- sometimes we just have to tell ourselves that we can make it one more day. I know Heavenly Father gives us strength. I know he is aware of what we go through and wants to help us. He wants us to feel His love. We have to put things into perspective-What really matters?
