Wise Counsel

How much more beautiful would be the world and the society in which we live if every father looked upon his children as the most precious of his assets, if he led them by the power of his example in kindness and love, and if in times of stress he blessed them by the authority of the holy priesthood; and if every mother regarded her children as the jewels of her life, as gifts from the God of heaven who is their Eternal Father, and brought them up with true affection in the wisdom and admonition of the Lord. (Gordon B. Hinckley, "Behold Your Little Ones," Ensign, Nov. 1978, p. 20)

Thank you for the reminder of just how precious our children are. Sometimes it seems that it is easy to forget that they are what we are, and therefore it is very important that we teach them self-respect. By doing that we than enrich their lives with all the other qualities that our Heavenly Father has asked each of us to be.
Love you so much,

Your children's Aunt,
Your Niece's Mother,
