susieSA Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Gems on the Family The Essence of Character --------------------------------------------------- "All of us, single or married, are eternally part of some family--someway, somewhere, somehow--and much of our joy in life comes as we correctly recognize and properly develop those family relationships. We come to this earth charged with a mission: to learn to love and serve one another. To best help us accomplish this, God has placed us in families, for he knows that is where we can best learn to overcome selfishness and pride and to sacrifice for others and to make happiness and helpfulness and humility and love the very essence of our character." Topics: character, families, service, love, happiness (John H. Groberg, "The Power of Family Prayer," Ensign, May 1982, 50) Quote

Everything that is ill in society comes from some one thinking they have a better idea than family.The Traveler Quote
