Enduring to the end is definitely not a do-it-yourself project.

Teaching children the joy of honest labor is one of the greatest of all gifts you can bestow upon them.

I promise you, if you will heed the voice of warning of the Holy Ghost and will follow His direction, you will be blessed with the ministering of angels, which will add wisdom, knowledge, power, and glory to your life. Remember, the Lord is bound by solemn covenant to bless our lives according to our faithfulness.

Surely there could not be any doctrine more strongly expressed in the scriptures than the Lord’s unchanging commandments and their connection to our happiness and well-being as individuals, as families, and as a society.

Parents have the glorious opportunity of being the most powerful influence, above and beyond any other, on the new lives that bless their homes.

How our governments need standards of integrity! How our communities need yardsticks to measure decency! How our neighborhoods need models of beauty and cleanliness! How our schools need continued encouragement and assistance to maintain high educational standards! Rather than spend time complaining about the direction in which these institutions are going, we need to exert our influence in shaping the right direction. A small effort by a few can result in so much good for all of mankind.

Go forward with new zeal and determination, and through your example shine the light of the gospel in this troubled world.
