Choose The Right!

For FHE we made homemade pretzels and shaped them into the letters CTR which stands for Choose the Right. Along with it the kids got CTR rings so they have a constant reminder. Such a valuable thing to instill in your children at their young of age.

I took this message from a talk by elder L. Tom Perry:
"I hope and pray that you great young people of the church will have the courage to constantly choose the right! Moreover, I suggest that each of you find or create reminders to help you and your loved ones choose the right when a choice is place before you. There is power in a tie tack, a CTR ring, or a white dress hanging in the closet if we associate them with our desires of purity and righteousness. Even more important than physical reminders is to have the conviction deep down in our hearts to live the kind of life that will cause us to make the choices, not only for peace and happiness in the world right now, but also for peace and happiness eternally."

The Prophet Joseph Smith taught us, "Happiness is the object and design of our existence; and will be the end thereof, if we pursue the path that leads to it; and this is virtue, uprightness, faithfulness, holiness, and keeping all the commandments of god."
