Mothers:

"Above all else, children need to know and feel they are loved, wanted, and appreciated. They need to be assured of that often. Obviously, this is a role parents should fill, and most often the mother can do it best."

 

"Let us all recognize that each of us is a son or daughter of our Father in Heaven, who loves all of His children."

 

"Mother, who willingly made that personal journey into the valley of the shadow of death to give us birth, deserves our undying gratitude. One writer summed up our love for mother when he declared, 'God could not be everywhere, and so He gave us mothers.'

"While on the cruel cross of Calvary, suffering intense pain and anguish, Jesus 'saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother!' (John
19:26-27.) What a divine example of Gratitude and love!"

 

"Who are good parents? They are those who have lovingly, prayerfully, and earnestly tried to teach their children by example and precept 'to
pray, and to walk uprightly before the Lord'. This is true even though some of their children are disobedient or worldly. Children come into this world with their own distinct spirits and personality traits. Some children 'would challenge any set of parents under any set of circumstances. . . . Perhaps there are others who would bless the lives of, and be a joy to, almost any father or mother'. Successful parents are those who have sacrificed and struggled to do the best they can in their own family circumstances."

'It is our duty to teach our
children in their youth. . . . I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that our children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves'
