Let us defend the home as a place which is second only to the temple in holiness.

The fact of the matter is, we really and truly need each other. Women naturally seek friendship, support, and companionship. We have so much to learn from one another, and we often let self-imposed barriers keep us from enjoying associations which could be among the greatest blessings in our lives.

We need to step up our teaching so that our youth do more on their own to understand the doctrines of Christ and the reality of the Restoration, and we need to find a way to motivate them to write these things on the 'tablets of their hearts.'

We must stop concentrating on our differences and focus on what we have in common. Then we can realize our full potential and achieve the greatest good in the world.

Let us help build the kingdom of God by standing up boldly and being defenders of marriage, parenthood, and the home.

The spirit of Christmas is Christlike love.

The love of God has been described as the highest, noblest, strongest kind of love and the most joyous to the soul.
