Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, to teach them to love and serve one another, to observe the commandments of God, and to be law-abiding citizens wherever they live.
The First Presidency has issued the call to parents "to devote their best efforts to the teaching and rearing of their children in gospel principles which will keep them close to the church. The home is the basis of a righteous life, and no other instrumentality can take its place or fulfill its essential functions in carrying forward this God-given responsibility."
These truly are some of my favorite people. I love the fruit that has come from hard work and intentional parenting, though extremely flawed.
The work of parenting is hard and not without a great deal of heartache at times, but this will truly be the most important work we will ever do.
