Today, our emphasis has shifted somewhat. While trying to physically survive on this planet, we can find valuable welfare support at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lds.org\/?lang=eng\">lds.org.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">As we begin this new year of change, it made me wonder what our resourced are in order to fulfill the true welfare needs of our families. There are many resources available to us. For example, individuals have been at work putting together materials and resources to help us follow the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lds.org\/study\/manual\/come-follow-me-for-individuals-and-families-new-testament-2019\/01?lang=eng\">Come Follow Me<\/a> lesson plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">But, has anyone looked at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lds.org\/?lang=eng\">lds.org<\/a>, and all that the church offers us already? Occasionally, I\u2019ll do a random search and I am always astounded at the information that is available to us. We have 50 years of articles in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lds.org\/magazine\/?lang=eng\">church magazines<\/a>: Ensign, New Era, and The Friend. There are all of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lds.org\/search?query=manuals&amp;lang=eng&amp;domains=manuals\">teaching manuals<\/a> over the years to draw from. And there are many new resources for strengthening our families that are not so well known.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Simple searches can bring up an enormous supply of ideas to guide and support our families. Try searching, within <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lds.org\/?lang=eng\">lds.org<\/a>, scripture references, videos, magazines, training, provident living, children, youth. You&#8217;ll be surprised what pops up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In my search, I ran across a talk, given by Elaine L. Jack (former Relief Society General President). She says,<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cThe purpose of the Relief Society organization of the Church, stated in our handbook, is to help women and their families come unto Christ. This means bringing the influence of Jesus Christ into our homes. It means we focus on his gospel and we find joy in living his commandments. It means we reexamine our time commitments and give emphasis to becoming a family that is united and at peace.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It\u2019s no news to you that this is no easy job. All forms of the media comment on the fragmentation or even the demise of the family. Economic pressures force families to make difficult choices. We\u2019re pulled in myriad directions, and yet we must hold gospel principles firmly in place. \u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Women have a key role in the family.
