May I say to mothers collectively, in the name of the Lord, you are magnificent. You are doing terrifically well. The very fact that you have been given such a responsibility is everlasting evidence of the trust your Father in Heaven has in you.

I testify of the renewing power of God's love and the miracle of His grace. His concern is for the faith at which you finally arrive, not the hour of the day in which you got there.

Be strong. Live the gospel faithfully even if others around you don’t live it at all.

No serious courtship or engagement or marriage is worth the name if we do not fully invest all that we have in it and in so doing trust ourselves totally to the one we love. You cannot succeed in love if you keep one foot out on the bank for safety's sake. The very nature of the endeavor requires that you hold on to each other as tightly as you can and jump in the pool together.

Your love for Jesus Christ and your discipleship in His cause must be the consuming preoccupation and passion of your mortality.

Trust God and Believe in good things to come!

If the bitter cup does not pass, drink it and be strong, trusting in happier days ahead.
