Family Responsibilities

Sisters,
We are studying lesson #37 in the Gospel Principles manual this Sunday, July 10. The lesson is about duties of the mother and father. Think about the things we have been given to help us fulfill our roles as women and mothers. Come prepared to share positive examples you've seen of women raising their children.

President Boyd K. Packer praised women who were unable to have children of their own yet sought to care for others. He said: “When I speak of mothers, I speak not only of those women who have borne children, but also of those who have fostered children born to others, and of the many women who, without children of their own, have mothered the children of others” (Mothers [1977], 8).

The lesson also covers the role of children. We are all children--so this applies to all of us!
What can you do right now in your life to honor your parents?

Love,
Shirlee
