"Let's imagine that you are terribly hungry when you are ushered into a
room full of banquet tables spread with many kinds of food. You are
allowed to choose which foods to eat....
"What is on the Lord's table? Love, good fun, uplifting music, peaceful
prayer, scriptures, smiles, learning, happy talk, warm hugs, good
friends, and service to others. This is where eternal joy can be found.
That's why in Primary you repeat the motto, 'I Will Follow God's Plan
for Me.' Although you will have disappointing days, and discouragement
and sorrow along with the good, if you follow God's plan, you will be
feasting at the table of the Lord where the spiritual satisfaction is
far greater and lasts longer than the physical satisfaction of food." -

Satan can influence us only if we
let him. Each time we resist evil, the Lord blesses us with more
strength to resist. When I do something I shouldn’t, I don’t like
the way I feel. But the first time I say in my mind or by what I do,
“Get thee behind me, Satan,” I feel a surge of strength and power to
resist. It is the Holy Ghost helping me. It’s a wonderfully secure
feeling. Resisting Satan is the appetizer at the banquet table of
the Lord. It prepares us for more of the life-giving sustenance the
Lord has for us. - Michaelene P.

Satan keeps at us all our lives.
As we grow older, he adds phrases like these to the messages he
delivers: “I’m not worth much.” “I’ve done my part, now it’s someone
else’s turn.” “It’s too late for me.” “The Brethren just don’t
understand. I know better than they do.” When these thoughts or
feelings come into our minds and hearts, they, too, are warnings
that let us know we are in danger—in danger of losing the Spirit,
losing our testimonies, forfeiting eternal joy. These, too, are
times to turn around and run to escape from the danger before us. -

When the family gathers for evening prayer, it is a good time for
sharing the day's experiences, reading the scriptures, and sharing
testimonies. Children especially need to hear the testimonies of
their parents. One family repeats one article of faith every evening
for a week, or memorizes a scripture, or recites books in the Book
of Mormon. Another family focuses on one child or a parent each day
with each member telling something good about that person. It takes
just a few minutes. Children of all ages need to hear positive
observations about themselves—especially from their parents. - Michaelene
