We have not been left alone. We have the light of Christ and the Holy Ghost to lead and guide us in an otherwise very dark and dreary world.

He set the example for all of us to humble ourselves before our Heavenly Father.

We are learning, day by day, about the gift of agency that allows us to experience the consequences, good and bad, of our own choices.

When we understand our baptismal covenant and the gift of the Holy Ghost, it will change our lives and will establish our total allegiance to the kingdom of God.

Work together as a family, even if it may be faster and easier to do the job ourselves. Talk with our sons and daughters as we work together.

The more I live, the more I recognize that the teaching moments in my youth, especially those provided by my parents, have shaped my life and made me who I am. It is impossible to overestimate the influence of parents who understand the hearts of their children.

Be the kind of friend who makes it easier for others to obey the commandments when they are with you.
