Improve

LDS General Conference

"It is in the home that our behavior is most significant. It is the place where our actions have the greatest impact, for good or ill. Sometimes we are so much “at home” that we no longer guard our words. We forget simple civility. If we are not on guard, we can fall into the habit of criticizing one another, losing our tempers, or behaving selfishly. Because they love us, our spouses and children may be quick to forgive, but they often carry away in silence unseen injuries and unspoken heartache." --Wayne S. Peterson

Thomas S. Monson

"To you who are parents, I say, show love to your children. You know you love them, but make certain they know it as well. They are so precious. Let them know. Call upon our Heavenly Father for help as you care for their needs each day and as you deal with the challenges which inevitably come with parenthood. You need more than your own wisdom in rearing them."

These two quotes really hit me when I read them and they made me realize that I NEED TO IMPROVE. I love my husband and babies so much and I hope they know it and can have patience with my weaknesses!

p.s. I found these quotes on Tim's facebook so if you have facebook you should look up Thomas S. Monson and LDS General Conference and you can see even more great quotes.
