What a wonderful opportunity to share a few thoughts with such special people as my family. I have been impressed the past few weeks with the resounding emphasis placed on family, both at General Conference and this past weekend at stake conference. Our stake president commented that he gave his counselors no assigned topic, yet all of them spoke about strengthening family, and the same messages came in the Saturday evening adult session. Family is the most important relationship we can be part of. The family is under attack on all sides. Know how much we love each of you. We weren't perfect parents and still aren't, but in all, we have done what we could. We have learned that we can't judge our parents, because when we weren't parents, we didn't realize how hard it is. Now we know, and continue to learn how to be good parents, even when you are all grown.
Life hasn't always given us what we wanted, but we have been richly blessed. I am impressed with the scripture chosed for the Young Men and Women's theme this year, "Be strong and of a good courage..." (Joshua 1:6) May we each be strong and of good courage, that we may stand together in our determination that our family be united in doing good, living righteously, and loving all.
I have posted a link to a YouTube video. I hope you enjoy.
God bless,
Love, Mom
