“Families are central to God’s eternal plan. I testify of the
great blessing of children and of the happiness they will bring us in this life
and in the eternities.”
~Elder Neil A. Andersen, “Children”, October 2011 General Conference,
lds.org
“He designated the purposes of marriage to go far beyond the
personal satisfaction and fulfillment of adults to, more importantly, advancing
the ideal setting for children to be born, reared, and nurtured. Families are
the treasure of heaven.”
~Elder Neil A. Andersen,
“Spiritual Whirlwinds”, April 2014 General Conference, lds.org.
“The way you feel in the temple is a pattern for how you want to feel
in your life.”
~Elder Neil A. Andersen,
“Spiritual Whirlwinds”, April 2014 General Conference, lds.org.
“We do not diminish the value of what women or men achieve in any
worthy endeavor or career—we all benefit from those achievements—but we still
recognize there is not a higher good than motherhood and fatherhood in
marriage. There is no superior career, and no amount of money, authority, or
public acclaim can exceed the ultimate rewards of family. Whatever else a woman
may accomplish, her moral influence is no more optimally employed than here.”
~Elder D.
Todd Christofferson, “The Moral Force of Women” October 2013 General
Conference, lds.org.
“Former Young Women general president Margaret D.
Nadauld taught: “The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who
are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind.
There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have
enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough
greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We
have enough popularity; we need more purity.” In blurring feminine and
masculine differences, we lose the distinct, complementary gifts of women and
men that together produce a greater whole.”
~Elder D.
Todd Christofferson, “The Moral Force of Women” October 2013 General
Conference, lds.org.
“Sisters, of all your associations, it is your
relationship with God, your Heavenly Father, who is the source of your moral
power, that you must always put first in your life.”
~Elder D.
Todd Christofferson, “The Moral Force of Women” October 2013 General
Conference, lds.org.
“What we
love determines what we seek.”
~Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf
“Many children would have had the blessing of being raised by both of
their parents if only their parents had followed this inspired teaching in the
family proclamation: “Husband and wife have a solemn responsibility to love and
care for each other and for their children. … Parents have a sacred duty to
rear their children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical
and spiritual needs, and to teach them to love and serve one another.”
~Elder Dallin H. Oaks “Protect
the Children” October 2012 General Conference, lds.org.
“Where family meals are concerned, it’s not the food
but the family interaction that nourishes the soul.”
~Elder
Robert D. Hales “Our Duty to God: The Mission of Parents and Leaders to the
Rising Generation” April 2010 General Conference, lds.org
“Christlike love is the greatest need we have on this
planet in part because righteousness was always supposed to accompany it.”
Elder
Jeffrey R. Holland, “The Cost-and Blessings- of Discipleship” April 2014
General Conference, lds.org.
|My
Feelings|
I love
my family! I love being a mother and wife. I know when I am keeping the
commandments and doing what is asked of me I will be happy on earth but also
enjoy the eternal blessings. I want to spend eternity with my family. If I want
to make sure we all make it there I need to be a good example, do the small and
simple things daily, teach my children, and always be improving myself. I love
the power of prayer and the ability I have to repent and start over daily. I
know Heavenly Father put us together for a reason and I want to make sure I am
doing my part!
