Let me begin now, this very night, to emulate Christ. Cast off forever will be the old self and with it defeat, despair, doubt, and disbelief. To a newness of life I come--a life of faith, hope courage, and joy. No task looms too large; no responsibility too heavy; no duty is a burden. All things become possible.
Thomas S. MonsonAs parents, we should remember that our lives may be the book from the family library which the children most treasure. Are our examples worthy of emulation? Do we live in such a way that a son or a daughter may say, โI want to follow my dad,โ or โI want to be like my motherโ? Unlike the book on the library shelf, the covers of which shield its contents, our lives cannot be closed. Parents, we truly are an open book in the library of learning of our homes.
Thomas S. MonsonWe are surrounded by those in need of our attention, our encouragement, our support, our comfort, our kindness... We are the Lordโs hands here upon the earth, with the mandate to serve and to lift His children. He is dependent upon each of us
Thomas S. Monson
