“May we make of our homes sanctuaries to which our family members will ever want to return.”

"Brethren, let’s treat our wives with dignity and with respect. They’re our eternal companions. Sisters, honor your husbands. They need to hear a good word. They need a friendly smile. They need a warm expression of true love."

"To you who are parents, I say, show love to your children. You know you love them, but make certain they know it as well. They are so precious. Let them know. Call upon our Heavenly Father for help as you care for their needs each day and as you deal with the challenges which inevitably come with parenthood. You need more than your own wisdom in rearing them."

"To you who are able to attend the temple, I would counsel you to go often. Doing so will help to strengthen marriages and families."

"The all-important and crowning blessings of membership in the Church are those blessings which we receive in the temples of God."

~President Thomas S. Monson

A Promise from a Prophet

"I ask you to make participation in institute a priority...Think of it. Friends will be made, the Spirit will be felt, and faith will be strengthened. I promise you that as you participate in institute and study the scriptures diligently, your power to avoid temptation and to receive direction of the Holy Ghost in all you do will be increased. Divine favor will attend those who humbly seek it. That is a promise which I leave with you."

An Apostle's Easter Thoughts on Christ

I feel so grateful to have such a wonderful Savior, and to have someone to walk with me through my life and to carry me through my hardest moments. Today is to remember Him and to rejoice, for He is risen. and He lives.

 

(I know this isn't by President Thomas S. Monson, but I felt like I should still share it with you.)
