These, Our little ones

Oh my gosh i have to say I love this month's Ensign. I want to share a paragraph from the First Presidentcy Message:

E. T. Sullivan once wrote these interesting words: “When God wants a great work done in the world or a great wrong righted, he goes about it in a very unusual way. He doesn’t stir up his earthquakes or send forth his thunderbolts. Instead, he has a helpless baby born, perhaps in a simple home and of some obscure mother. And then God puts the idea into the mother’s heart, and she puts it into the baby’s mind. And then God waits. The greatest forces in the world are not the earthquakes and the thunderbolts. The greatest forces in the world are babies.”1

And those babies, I should like to add, will become forces for good or ill, depending in large measure on how they are reared. The Lord, without equivocation, has declared, “I have commanded you to bring up your children in light and truth” (D&C 93:40).

I love that!!! We are so blessed and fortunate to have these precious little babies to bring up!!! If you want to read the whole article which again is amazing.. here is the link (well you may have to copy and paste) If it doesnt work go to www.lds.org and it is on the right hand side:
