My name is Thomas Clifford and I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints. My family is the most important thing to me in the entire world. Today I want to talk about The Family A Proclamation to the World and how important it’s message is and the fact that family is the center of my world. Today want to talk about the safety of the family. As parents, it is our job to make sure that our children are safe. We need teach them to leave situations better than it was when they got there. 

"HUSBAND AND WIFE have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other and for their children. “Children are an heritage of the Lord” (Psalm 127:3). Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, and to teach them to love and serve one another, observe the commandments of God, and be law-abiding citizens wherever they live." - The Family - A Proclamation to the World

We need to teach them to love each other and the people they interact with. They need to know that we each make mistakes and its okay to make mistakes. We need to learn from these mistakes. Family means being surrounded by people who love them and will help them be better. The family is their protector and safety net in life. Friends come and friends go but family is forever.
