My family brings me so much happiness;
they are my heart and soul. I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to be a
wife and mother. My greatest joy has
been raising them and watching them blossom into who they are supposed to
become. I love what President Monson
said about how stresses come into our lives regardless of circumstances but, we
shouldn't let it get in the way of what is most important. My family is the
most important thing to me and I need to make sure they know how much I love
them. I want so much to be a devoted and caring mother to my children and let
them know how much the Gospel of Jesus Christ means to me. I am grateful for my
husband that leads our family in daily scripture study and family prayer. I
want to protect my children from the evil influences of the world. My goal for my family will to make
sure they get a hug and a kiss from me each day and to tell them I love them.
"The example of your righteous life will strengthen your family. President Hinckley gave the young women “a simple four-point program” in the general Young Women meeting last spring that will not only “assure your happiness” but will bless your family as well. He counseled each of us to “(1) pray, (2) study, (3) pay your tithing, and (4) attend your meetings”
President Gordon B. Hinckley-April 2007 General Conference “Let Virtue Garnish Thy Thoughts Unceasingly”
“No other success can compensate for failure” There, we must place high priority on our families. We build deep and loving family relationships by doing simple things together, like family dinner and family home evening and by just having fun together. In family relationships love is really spelled t-i-m-e, time. Taking time for each other is the key for harmony at home. We talk with, rather than about, each other. We learn from each other, and we appreciate our differences as well as our commonalities. We establish a divine bond with each other as we approach God together through family prayer, gospel study, and Sunday worship."
Dieter F. Uchfdorf October 2010 General Conference "Of Things That Matter Most"
"Family is the center of life and is the key to eternal happiness."
L. Tom Perry April 2015 General Conference "Why Marriage and Family Matter—Everywhere in the World"
"Life is better and much happier as hearts turn toward family and as families live in the light of the Gospel of Christ."
M. Russell Ballard-April 2012 General Conference "That the Lost May Be Found"
"Because mothers are essential to God's great plan of happiness, their sacred work is opposed by Satan, who would destroy the family and demean the worth of women."
Russell M. Nelson April 1999 General Conference "Our Sacred Duty to Honor Women"
"Protect your children from daily worldly influences by fortifying them with the powerful blessings that result from family prayer. Family prayer should be a nonnegotiable priority in your daily life."
Richard G. Scott October 2014 General Conference "Make The Exercise Of Faith Your First Priority"
"As we take a long, hard look at the world today, it is becoming increasingly evident that Satan is working overtime to enslave the souls of men. His main target is the fundamental unit of society—the family."
L. Tom Perry-April 2004 General Conference "Fatherhood, An Eternal Calling"
"We have the responsibility to preserve and protect the family as the basic unit of society and eternity."

"Stresses in our lives come regardless of our circumstances. We must deal with them the best we can. But we should not let them get in the way of what is most important—and what is most important almost always involves the people around us. Often we assume that they must know how much we love them. But we should never assume; we should let them know. Wrote William Shakespeare, “They do not love that do not show their love.” We will never regret the kind words spoken or the affection shown. Rather, our regrets will come if such things are omitted from our relationships with those who mean the most to us."
