Obedience brings peace

"Now their dead were not numbered because of the greatness of their numbers; neither were the dead of the Nephites numbered—but it came to pass after they had buried their dead, and also after the days of fasting, and mourning, and prayer, (and it was in the sixteenth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi) there began to be continual peace throughout all the land. Yea, and the people did observe to keep the commandments of the Lord; and they were strict in observing the ordinances of God, according to the law of Moses; for they were taught to keep the law of Moses until it should be fulfilled." - Alma 30:2-3

Peace comes as a result of obedience. As we are obedient to God we will find peace.

Defining Family

"... The family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity. ..." - The Family: A Proclamation to the World

There should be no confusion as to how the family is defined. We have it defined by prophets of God as marriage between man and woman where children are born into the bonds of matrimony. This isn't a fairy-tale definition, it is how our Father intended it to be. This family, we learn, is central to his plan for our eternal destiny.

It is interesting that we are told that the family unit is central to God's plan. As a key component of the plan we can know that it is something that is very important. It is not a trivial thing to redefine the family to fit personal situations and feelings. In so doing we risk bringing the judgments of God upon us.

Overcome Pride

"Think of your brethren like unto yourselves, and be familiar with all and free with your substance, that they may be rich like unto you." - Jacob 2:17

This is great counsel on how to overcome and avoid pride. It is also an excellent way to develop charity.
