Home-A Sanctuary From the World
“The time will come when only those who believe deeply and actively in the family will be able to preserve their families in the midst of the gathering evil around us.” “Spencer W. Kimball (Ensign, Nov. 1980, p. 4.)
Women’s Vital Role in the Family/ First and Highest Priority
“The home is under siege. So many families are being destroyed…If anyone can change the dismal situation into which we are sliding, it is you. Rise up, O women of Zion, rise to the great challenge which faces you…My challenge to you…is that you will rededicate yourselves to the strengthening of your homes.” President Gordon B. Hinckley-(Ensign Nov 1998, 99-100)
The mother in the family far more than the father, she is the one who instills in the hearts of the children, a testimony and love for the gospel…and whenever you find a woman who is devoted to this work, almost without exception you will find that her children are devoted to it. Pres. Heber J. Grant (Gospel Standards, 101)
Mothers are the emotional glue that holds the family together. Joseph F. Smith said. “There are people fond of saying that women are the weaker vessels. I don’t believe it. Physically, they may be; but spiritually, morally…and in faith, what man can match a woman who is really convinced?”
Sister Eliza R. Snow “Let your first business be to perform your duties at home.”
President Gordon B Hinckley “You are the guardians of the hearth. You are the bearers of the children. You are they who nurture them and establish within them the habits of their lives. No other work reaches so close to divinity as does the nurturing of the sons and daughters of God.
Zina D H Young: If there is one mother present here who does not teach and instruct her children properly… I plead with you to do so. Call your children around you … and pray with them. … Warn the children of the evils that surround us … that they may not become a prey to these evils, but grow up in holiness and in purity before the Lord.”
