Quote of the week

"Our families need the peace of God in their lives, and if we can't
or won't invite the Lord into our lives, then our families become a
reflection of our own turmoil. Women are asked to be nurturers to
their families, but we must also be firm; we must be the hard rock
footings on which our homes can stand. Our families need us to
speak peace to them, just as the Lord speaks peace to us. Our
homes need to be places where our families and friends want to
be, where all who enter our homes can draw strength and courage
to face the challenges of living in an increasingly wicked world.
Our children need to hear us 'talk of Christ, . . .
rejoice in Christ, [and] preach of Christ' (2 Nephi 25:26) so that
they may know to what source they can look for the peace that
passeth all understanding' (Philippians 4:7)."
