Words of True Wisdom

Wow... WOW! This is another well-spoken thought by Elder Nelson; I just wanted to make sure you all had a chance to read it and take in its message! Beautiful.

Love,

Our Family Is the Focus of Our Greatest Work and Joy

Posted: 16 Oct 2009 12:00 AM PDT

"Brethren and sisters, material possessions and honors of the world do not endure. But your union as wife, husband, and family can. The only duration of family life that satisfies the loftiest longings of the human soul is forever. No sacrifice is too great to have the blessings of an eternal marriage. To qualify, one needs only to deny oneself of ungodliness and honor the ordinances of the temple. By making and keeping sacred temple covenants, we evidence our love for God, for our companion, and our real regard for our posterity—even those yet unborn. Our family is the focus of our greatest work and joy in this life; so will it be throughout all eternity, when we can 'inherit thrones, kingdoms, principalities … powers, dominions … exaltation and glory' (D&C 132:19)."

Russell M. Nelson, "Set in Order Thy House," Liahona, Jan. 2002, 82
