Everyone within the sound of my voice has the power to increase a child’s confidence in himself or herself and to increase a child’s faith in Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ through the words they speak.

The world will teach our children if we do not, and children are capable of learning all the world will teach them at a very young age. What we want them to know five years from now needs to be part of our conversation with them today. Teach them in every circumstance; let every dilemma, every consequence, every trial that they may face provide an opportunity to teach them how to hold on to gospel truths.

We begin to make the plan known to our children when we hold tight to the iron rod ourselves.

How we speak to our children and the words we use can encourage and uplift them and strengthen their faith.

As individuals we are strong. Together, with God, we are unstoppable.

The world will teach our children if we do not, and children are capable of learning all the world will teach them at a very young age.

Looking forward with an eternal perspective gives one hope, a reason to look up and feel gratitude for even the smallest bit of light.
