The work is demanding, the impact everlasting. This is no time for 'summer soldiers' in the army of the Lord.
Thomas S. MonsonThere are hearts to gladden... kind words to say... gifts to be given... deeds to be done.
Thomas S. MonsonTo you who are parents, I say, show love to your children. You know you love them, but make certain they know it as well. They are so precious. Let them know. Call upon our Heavenly Father for help as you care for their needs each day and as you deal with the challenges which inevitably come with parenthood. You need more than your own wisdom in rearing them.
Thomas S. MonsonHome should be a haven of love. Honor, courtesy, and respect symbolize love and characterize the righteous family.
Thomas S. MonsonThere are many out there who plead and pray for help. There are those who are discouraged, those who are beset by poor health and challenges of life which leave them in despair. I’ve always believed in the truth of the words, ‘God’s sweetest blessings always go by hands that serve him here below.’ Let us have ready hands, clean hands, and willing hands, that we may participate in providing what our Heavenly Father would have others receive from Him.
