And on their forms and faces her prophecies complete.
And then I saw tomorrow look at me through little children's eyes.
And I thought how carefully I must teach if I am wise!

I am reading a little gem of a book called Daughters of God by M. Russell Ballard. It is so full of insights about the value and importance of women, especially as nurturers of children.
One of my favorite scriptures is from Isaiah, and repeated in the Book of Mormon:
And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be the peace of thy children.
Isaiah 54:13 and 3 Nephi 22:13Another scripture about peace, from Isaiah and repeated in the Book of Mormon is this one:
O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments -- then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea.
Isaiah 48:18 and 1 Nephi 20:18I know the Lord wants us to have peace. We can have peace in the midst of our trials and struggles. We certainly should have peace in our homes and families. The way to achieve that is through teaching our families of the Lord and His commandments. Everything else is secondary in importance.
