“Teaching one another the doctrine of the kingdom is a way
to love and serve each other. Parents and grandparents tend to bemoan the state
of the world: that schools are not teaching moral character. But there is much
we can do. We can take advantage of the teaching moments in our own families.
Don’t let them slip by. When an opportunity comes to share your thoughts about
the gospel and the lessons of life, stop everything, sit down, and talk with
your children and grandchildren. We shouldn’t worry that we’re not
professionally trained gospel teachers. The Spirit will lead you along. I
promise you: the calling to be a parent includes the gift to teach in the ways
that are right for you and for your children. Remember, God’s power to
influence us righteously is His love. We love him, because he first loved us.”
- Elder Robert D. Hales
