You will find some of your greatest joys in your efforts to make your home a place of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and a place that is permeated with love.
United as one: That miraculous feeling is what we all want in our homes.
There is the key to leading your family to rise to that spiritual place you want for them—and for you to be there with them. As you help them grow in faith that Jesus Christ is their loving Redeemer, they will feel a desire to repent.
So building faith in Jesus Christ is the beginning of reversing spiritual decline in your family and in your home. That faith is more likely to bring repentance than your preaching against each symptom of spiritual decline.
You will best lead by example. Family members and others must see you growing in your own faith in Jesus Christ and in His gospel.
Your children may remember your faith in the Savior at a moment when they desperately need repentance.
Praying as a family can play a crucial part in making home a sacred place.
Prayer in the family can reach across the world.
The family that prays together is together, even when they are far apart.
Parents can set an example. Harsh words or unkind thoughts can be repented of quickly and sincerely. A simple “I am sorry” can heal wounds and invite both forgiveness and love.
Our family members will grow in their desire to share the gospel as they feel the joy of forgiveness.
The missionary spirit will grow in our homes as children and parents feel the joy of forgiveness in the sacrament service.
The temple is the best opportunity to gain a feeling for and a love of heavenly places.
Children are born with the Light of Christ.
You will find some of your greatest joys in your efforts to make your home a place of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and a place that is permeated with love, the pure love of Christ.
The Restoration of the gospel started with a humble question pondered in a humble home, and it can continue in each of our homes as we continue to establish and practice gospel principles there
You just live worthy of the celestial kingdom, and the family arrangements will be more wonderful than you can imagine.
Heavenly Father’s plan is a plan of happiness.
