Carter's Sacrament Talk


Today Carter gave the talk during sacrament meeting at church. He wrote it entirely by himself. I did proof it for spelling errors but he wrote it himself. I was so very impressed at his presentation. It really came to life as he spoke the words. I was not the only person with a little tear at the end of his talk. I am so grateful to have a son who can teach us all about families and the importance thereof. The amazing thing was he said he wasn't very nervous and it was easier than baring his testimony which he does nearly every month. He is a great kid! Here is his talk. The Nana's in the world will want to read it.   

 My Sacrament Talk
                                                            By: Me…C-Dog
This is my first talk and I am very exited. My theme is based on something I have a testimony on. I chose the importance of families because it is one of the main things that I have a testimony of, well time to get down to business. The importance of families; families are important because they are one of the many key points in God’s plan for redemption. Personally, I couldn’t have made it this far without my family. Families are very important to help you chose the right. A family helps you go above and beyond the normal standards.
            The proclamation of the family states Quote “the family is ordained of god” end quote. God put families on the earth for you and me to gain moral standards. Families are meant to help and to uplift you to righteousness. Think about it when you were a kid did your mom always try her best to get you ready for life? Could you always depend on her? Do you remember a time when they stepped in and saved you at the very last moment?
            Families are important to help you chose the right. They (especially your mom) let you lean on there testimony while you gain your own. The proclamation of the family states quote “Husband and wife have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other and for their children.” Without their support it would be 20 times harder to make it through life. Who would support you in life and make you go to school?
A family is suppose to help you on your way into the world, but once you go to college you don’t just not have a mom and a dad anymore. Families are meant to be eternal and will help and uplift you for eternity. The family a proclamation to the world states quote “Sacred ordinances and covenants make it possible for individuals to return to the presence of God and for families to be united eternally.” end quote. I have a strong testimony of families I know that my mom and dad will always be there by my side and that even if I am on a mission they will be rooting for me the whole time.
I love my family because they help me with my school work and they push me to be the best I could be. Even if that means that they have to go to my track meets and spend an hour or two there. I love my family because they are always there for me.
I’d like to bear my testimony…
