Words to Ponder…

"A wise parent would never miss a chance to gather children together to learn of the doctrine of Jesus Christ. Such moments are so rare in comparison with the efforts of the enemy. For every hour the power of doctrine is introduced into a child's life, there may be hundreds of hours of messages and images denying or ignoring the saving truths."

Henry B. Eyring, "Teaching True Doctrine," Ensign, Apr. 2009, 6–7

"Should a parent need added inspiration to commence his God-given teaching task, let him remember that the most powerful combination of emotions in the world is not called out by any grand cosmic event nor found in novels or history books—but merely by a parent gazing down upon a sleeping child."

Thomas S. Monson, "Only a Teacher: A Personal Observation," Ensign, May 1973, 27
