March 8, 2010 I know that many of you are concerned about raising your children
“I know that many of you are concerned about raising your children during
these difficult times and increasing their faith. When my wife and I were
starting our family in the San Francisco Bay Area, we had that same concern.
At a critical point our stake members were advised by Elder Harold B. Lee,
then a member of the Twelve, that we could raise our families in
righteousness if we would:
1. Follow the prophet.
2. Create the true spirit of the gospel in our hearts and homes.
3. Be a light to those among whom we live.
4. Focus on the ordinances and principles taught in the temple. (See D&C
115:5; Harold B. Lee, “Your Light to Be a Standard unto the Nations,” Ensign
Aug. 1973, 3–4.)
“As we followed this counsel, our faith increased and our fears decreased. I
believe we can raise righteous children anywhere in the world if they are
taught religious principles in the home.”
Quentin L. Cook, Ensign, Nov 2007, 70–73
