The more
connected we feel to our righteous forefathers, the more likely we
are to make wise and righteous choices.
And so it is. Each of us will be greatly blessed if we know the
stories of faith and sacrifice that led our forefathers to join the
Lord’s Church. - William R.
Walker, “Live
True to the Faith,” Ensign (CR) May 2014

That
picture hanging in the front foyer of my grandparents’ home had a
powerful influence on me. I lived in the small prairie town of Raymond,
where my
grandparents lived. I could walk to their home, so I visited often. I
remember frequently standing quietly alone in the foyer, reverently
looking at that
picture of the First Presidency. I remember thinking about why my
grandparents thought it was so important to honor the First Presidency
and have that picture
prominently displayed in their home. All who entered would see it.
Perhaps most importantly, for their children and grandchildren it was a
constant reminder of
what was deeply important in the hearts and lives of Grandma and
Grandpa.
Years later I concluded that displaying the picture of the First Presidency was equivalent to Joshua’s beautiful expression: “Choose you this day whom ye will serve; … as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15). – William R.
