I receive the Family LDS Gems in my e-mail each day and I love this quote by President Thomas S. Monson.
Women Have a Great Influence for Good
"Too frequently, women underestimate their influence for good. Well could you follow the formula given by the Lord: 'Establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God' (D&C 88:119).
"In such a house will be found happy, smiling children who have been taught, by precept and example, the truth. In a Latter-day Saint home, children are not simply tolerated, but welcomed; not commanded, but encouraged; not driven, but guided; not neglected, but loved."
Don't we all want that?!
The whole talk is really great too. Take some time out today to read it here
