Praise each child individually for what that child is, and help him or her escape our culture’s obsession with comparing, competing, and never feeling we are “enough.”

Sisters, there is no place in that magnificent spirit of yours for harsh or unkind words.
Gossip, backbiting, and catty remarks do not reflect who we truly are.

Our words should uplift, heal, and unite not wound or divide.

When we choose kindness, restraint, and charity in our speech, we honor the divine worth within ourselves and others.

I’m not sure about the success of economies, politics, businesses, universities, or hospitals.

But I know one thing that will never fail the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.”

There is no “my way” if we are to follow Christ’s example.

Trying to find a different course to heaven is like the futility of working on the Tower of Babel rather than looking to Christ and His salvation.

Husbands, you have been entrusted with the most sacred gift God can give you a wife, a daughter of God, the mother of your children, who has voluntarily given herself to you for love and joyful companionship.

A husband who would never dream of striking his wife physically can break if not her bones,

then certainly her heart by the brutality of thoughtless or unkind speech.🥹❤️

May we follow Him unfailingly, never faltering nor fleeing, never flinching at the task, not when our crosses may be heavy and not when, for a time, the path may grow dark🥹❤️.
