Our families need the peace of God in their lives,
and if we can't or won't invite the Lord into our lives,
then our families become a reflection of our own
inner turmoil. Women are asked to be nurturers to
their families, but we must also be firm; we must be
the hard rock footings on which our homes can stand.
Our families need us to speak peace to them,
just as the Lord speaks peace to us.
Our homes need to be places where our
families and friends want to be, where all who enter
our homes can draw strength and courage to face
the challenges of living in an increasingly
wicked world. Our children need to hear us 'talk of Christ, . . .
rejoice in Christ, [and] preach of Christ' (2 Nephi 25:26)
so that they may know to what source they can look
for the peace that 'passeth all understanding' (Philippians 4:7)."
