The Gospel Blesses Famlies and Individuals

October 3, 2007Jenny Marie Hatch

Blessings from the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
“Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on sound principles, like those that Jesus Christ taught. These principles include faith in Jesus Christ, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities. A home established on gospel principles is a place of refuge and safety, where the Spirit of the Lord can abide, blessing family members with peace, joy, and happiness (“ The Family: A Proclamation to the World”).
No marriage or family is perfect. When dealing with challenging relationships, it may help to remember that each person on this earth is a beloved son or daughter of God and has a divine nature and destiny. Learning to love and serve your family members, as Christ taught, will help you become more like your Heavenly Father and will help you prepare to live with Him again in an eternal family.”

LLL: The journey of Breastfeeding

October 3, 2007Jenny Marie Hatch

This excellent piece was written as a typical nursing experience:

“When Julianna was approaching ten weeks old, she started a growth spurt. I knew from previous growth spurts that she would want to nurse a lot, and I didn’t want to keep offering formula. I decided then and there to stop the formula and nurse her throughout the spurt as much as she wanted. To my utter happiness and bliss, it worked! For the very first time since I had given birth, I felt my milk let down. It happened frequently as she worked to nurse and build up my once small but ever-present supply.

I learned how to breastfeed in the relaxed fashion women are meant to. I nourished my precious child and became comfortable with new positions that previously would upset me because I thought we could not do them. Julianna has not touched a drop of formula since then, and she is now nine months old and still nurses every two to four hours. We have become an amazing nursing couple. This bond is something I never dreamed would be so strong. All the work Julianna and I did was worth it.”
