In
a world where a bajillion resources are available at our fingertips,
it’s hard to know where to start or which ones are truly valuable in our
quest for learning and wisdom. When we are seeking for help or
resources to give us direction for one of life’s problems, emotions are
heightened and it can be even more difficult to find what we are looking
for. I’m confident you have experienced the value of good ‘word of
mouth’ suggestions. I hope mine will prove just as valuable.
Recently while writing lessons, I had the opportunity to ponder in depth the many various challenges that face our families: anxiety and depression, pornography, defiant attitudes, etc. Fortunately, there are just as many, if not more, quality places to turn for solid information and help. I would submit that the key to being able to work through whatever challenges come our way, is to be prepared, proactive, educated ahead of time and to know what ‘symptoms’ to look for in loved ones. Then we can better have a plan of action and know where to turn for help, when the need arises.
The church website has done a remarkable job in providing simple, easy to access resources on a number of critical topics that we may encounter in life. I encourage you to take a tour and become familiar with the content, FHE lessons, help resources, and community resources suggested on their pages. I am only listing a couple in each category and only a couple topics. Dive in!
