Recap on January's AM Meeting

Thanks to everyone that came to our January kick-off meeting. We had a fabulous turn out. Thanks to Lori Featherstone of the Young Women's General Board, who did such a great job teaching us. She shared wonderful insights on how to be better and happier parents, and how to create united families. She even shared stories of the funny and hard times from her own life that made us think and made us laugh.

Dear darling Moms,
It was such a treat to be with you tonight. I want you all to know we have lots of bumps and hick-up in our home. We are far from perfect, but I pray that you understood that we are just trying our best as you are to follow the counsel give to us by our prophets in hope to raise righteous children and all return to our Heavenly Father some day. It was privileged to be in your presence tonight. You are amazing women doing the greatest work on the earth. Thank you for all you are doing.
Love
Lori Featherstone

Here are the quotes I read tonight and then the other ones I referred too.
Temple quote by Elder Featherstone “I promise you all who faithfully attend to temple work will be blessed beyond measure. Your families will draw closer to the Lord, unseen angels will watch over your loved ones when satanic forces will tempt them. The veil will e thin and great spiritual experiences will distill upon this people.

Scripture quote Pres. Romney
I feel certain that in our homes if parents will read from the B of Mormon
Prayerfully and regularly both by themselves and with their children, the spirit of that great book will come to permeate our homes and all who dwell there in. The spirit of Reverence will increase mutual respect and consideration for each other will grow. The spirit of contention will depart. Parents will counsel their children in greater love and wisdom. Children will be more responsive and submissive to their counsel. Rightness will increase faith hope charity-pure love of Christ will abound in our home and lives bringing in the peace joy and happiness.
FHE Promise Joseph F. Smith
Faithfull holding FHE
“Love at home and obedience to parents will increase. Faith will be developed in the hearts of the youth of Isreal, and they will gain power to combat the evil influences and temptations which beset them.”
