I really liked this quote by President Monson.
"Too frequently, women underestimate their influence for good. Well could you follow the formula given by the Lord: 'Establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God' (D&C 88:119)."In such a house will be found happy, smiling children who have been taught, by precept and example, the truth. In a Latter-day Saint home, children are not simply tolerated, but welcomed; not commanded, but encouraged; not driven, but guided; not neglected, but loved."
I agree completely, he just makes it all sound so easy! :) But I know that the Heavenly Father will guide each parent in how to care for His precious spirit that he gave to them - I have a firm testimony of that.
I wanted to include some of those mothers who are great examples to me here.
