“Each family prayer, each episode of family scripture study, and each family home evening is a brushstroke on the canvas of our souls. No one event may appear to be very impressive or memorable. But just as the yellow and gold and brown strokes of paint complement each other and produce an impressive masterpiece, so our consistency in doing seemingly small things can lead to significant spiritual results. “Wherefore, be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great” (D&C 64:33). Consistency is a key principle as we lay the foundation of a great work in our individual lives and as we become more diligent and concerned in our own homes.”
David A. Bednar, “More Diligent and Concerned at Home”, October 2009 General Conference
This is a good reminder. It can be easy to get discouraged
if you think that your efforts are not yielding great results.
Children really love ritual too and they feel the loss if you skip.
How timely for me to read this! Thank you; I needed this reminder today.
