For me, the Lord has opened the windows of heaven and showered blessings upon my family beyond my ability to express.

The Gospels record that nearly everywhere the Savior went, He was surrounded by multitudes of people. Some hoped that He would heal them; others came to hear Him speak. Others came for practical advice. Toward the end of His mortal ministry, some came to mock and ridicule Him and to clamor for His crucifixion.

Logic itself affirms that a loving Heavenly Father would not abandon His children without providing a way for them to learn of Him.

Men and women who decide to flirt with adultery just once can become enmeshed in misery and unhappiness for themselves and their precious families.

Patience with family members and others who are close to us is vital for us to have happy homes.

Occasionally, family members treat each other with less courtesy and kindness than they do acquaintances or even strangers.

When we reach out to assist the least of Heavenly Father's children, we do it unto Him. That is the essence of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

We have no middle ground, no foggy gray area where we can sin a little without suffering spiritual decline. That is why we must repent and come to Christ daily on submissive knees so that we can prevent our bonfires of testimony from being snuffed out by sin.

Our families should gather for family prayer morning and night.

Charity can be the outward expression of faith and hope.

President Eyring is a wise, learned, and spiritual man.

There is no limit to the potential of brethren working together in complete brotherhood and selflessness toward spiritual goals. The power of God working through such channels will bring unimaginable blessings to all concerned.
