I was just reading a talk by Elder D. Todd Christofferson called "The Moral Force of Women." It is an incredible talk. There was one thing that he said that I loved and it made me think of my blog.

"...there is not a higher good than motherhood and fatherhood in marriage. There is no superior career, and no amount of money, authority, or public acclaim can exceed the ultimate rewards of family." 

Are we striving each day to develop the attributes needed to become a successful parent in the Lord's eyes? Where are our priorities?

One more quote that I loved is by Elder Richard G. Scott, in his talk "Finding Happiness."

"Recognizing that you are a person who wants to live worthily and be obedient to Father in Heaven, how would Satan strive to lead you from the path to happiness? Surely he would not be successful by tempting you to commit serious transgression--at least not initially. He would more likely fill your mind and heart with visions of many, many worthwhile things--none of which could be criticized as being wrong, but taken together, they would so occupy your time that you would not do those things that are absolutely essential for eternal life with Father in Heaven and his Beloved Son."
