"As you walt to the boundary of your understanding into the twilight of uncertainty, exercising faith, you will be led to find solutions you would not obtain otherwise. With even your strongest faith, God will not always reward you immediately according to your desires. Rather, God will respond with what in His eternal plan is best for you, when it will yield the greatest advantage. Be thankful that sometimes God lets you struggle for a long time before that answer comes. That causes your faith to increase and your character to grow."

"As a mother guided by the Lord, you weave a fabric of character in your children from threads of truth through careful instruction and worth example. You imbue the traits of honesty, faith in God, duty, respect for others, self-confidence, and the desire to contribute, to learn, and to give in your trusting children's minds and hearts. No day-care can do that. It is your sacred right and privilege."

-Richard G. Scott
