My Wonderful Visiting Teachers came to see me yesterday, and the message they brought was one that caught my attention. It made me sit back and think about the sacred responsibility I have to teach and love my kids. I feel that I need to prepare my children for the coming future so they can play their important role they have here to play on this earth. I just hope that I can be the kind of mom that can prepare them and love them, the way that President Hinckley has asked me to. I am so lucky to be able to have 5 of these wonderful spirits in my home.
Here is the message, so if your Wonderful Visiting teachers haven't come yet.
Elder Neal A. Maxwell (1926–2004) of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles: “Reserved by the Lord for this time, [the rising generation] must now be preserved … and prepared for their special moment in human history! They have been held back to come forth at this time, but now they need to be pushed forward to meet their rendezvous. …
Elder Ronald A. Rasband of the Presidency of the Seventy: “Our rising generation is worthy of our best efforts to support and strengthen them in their journey to adulthood. … In every action we take, in every place we go, with every Latter-day Saint young person we meet, we need to have an increased awareness of the need for strengthening, nurturing, and being an influence for good in their lives”
President Gordon B. Hinckley (1910–2008): “Never forget that these little ones are the sons and daughters of God and that yours is a custodial relationship to them, that He was a parent before you were parents and that He has not relinquished His parental rights or interest in these His little ones. … Rear your children in love, in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Take care of your little ones. Welcome them into your homes, and nurture and love them with all of your hearts. They may do, in the years that come, some things you would not want them to do, but be patient, be patient. You have not failed as long as you have tried”
