As children of the Lord we should strive every day to rise to a higher level of personal righteousness in all of our actions.

There is no greater good in all the world than motherhood. The influence of a mother in the lives of her children is beyond calculation.

May we all be faithful in doing the day-to-day, ordinary things that prove our worthiness, for they will lead us to and qualify us for great things.

Making a wrong choice early may limit making the right choice later.

Meetings don't have to be endless to be eternal.

Some of our important choices have a time line. If we delay a decision, the opportunity is gone forever. Sometimes our doubts keep us from making a choice that involves change. Thus an opportunity may be missed.

The Lord has directed, Bring up your children in light and truth. To me, there is no more important human effort. Being a father or a mother is not only a great challenge; it is a divine calling. It is an effort requiring consecration. President David O. McKay (1873-1970) stated that being parents is the greatest trust that has been given to human beings.
