Making and cheerfully keeping our covenants gives validity and life to the vital sacred and saving ordinances we need to receive in order to obtain all that the Father hath.

When we seek to complete rather than compete, it's so much easier to cheer each other on.

As we have considered the critical need to strengthen families and homes, we have felt that the Lord would have us encourage His beloved daughters to cheerfully cleave to their covenants. When covenants are kept, families are strengthened.

We go to the temple to make covenants with Heavenly Father. We return home to keep them.

We should seek to observe, and then to serve.

Seek to complete rather than compete.

The best way to strengthen a home, current or future, is to keep covenants.
