Let us make of our homes sanctuaries of righteousness, places of prayer, and abodes of love, that we might merit the blessings that can come only from our Heavenly Father.

Rather than dwelling on the past, we should make the most of today, of the here and now, doing all we can to provide pleasant memories for the future…If you are still in the process of raising children be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled, will disappear all too soon, and that you will, to your surprise, miss them, profoundly.

We are going to make mistakes, but none of us can become an expert in family history work without first being a novice.

When we encounter challenges and problems in our lives, it is often difficult for us to focus on our blessings. However, if we reach deep enough and look hard enough, we will be able to feel and recognize just how much we have been given.

It is not enough to want to make the effort... it's in the doing, not just the thinking that we accomplish our goals.

Whatever our calling, regardless of our fears or anxieties, let us pray and then go and do.

Self-discipline is a rigorous process at best; too many of us want it to be effortless and painless.
