“When
first we love the Lord with all our hearts, then we can lead our children to Him
in all of our interactions. They will grow in their devotion to the Lord as they
see our devotion to Him. They will understand the power of prayer as they hear
us pray to a loving Heavenly Father who is there listening and answering our
prayers. They will understand faith as they see us live by faith. And they will
learn the power of love by the kind and respectful ways that we relate to them.
We cannot teach truth to our children apart from the trusting, caring
relationships that we have with them. President Howard W. Hunter said, ‘A
successful parent is one who has loved, one who has sacrificed, and one who has
cared for, taught, and ministered to the needs of a child’ (Ensign, Nov. 1983,
p. 65).” - Anne G. Wirthlin, “Touch the Hearts of the
Children,” Ensign (CR), November 1995, p. 81
