How can we become more diligent and concerned at home?

Elder David A. Bednar Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles gave a talk in October 2009.  The title was More Diligent and Concerned at Home.

He gave us suggestions on how we can be more diligent and concerned at home and the first suggestion is LOVE.
Express Love-and Show it.  Tell the ones that mean the most to you that you love them and tell them frequently. We know we need to do this, but is not always reflected in what we do.  Learn to know what you need to do to show love to your family.

The next suggestion is Bear Testimony-and Live it.  Bear our testimony of the things we know to be true. It does not need to be long, but allow your family to know you have a testimony of our Savior. What is a testimony?  It is what we know to be true in our minds and in our hearts by the witness of the Holy Ghost.

Be Consistent is the third suggestion. Have regular meals together, prayer together scripture study and family home evening.  Now this may not always go as you in-vision or plan, but keep at it.  Children and kids will remember.

The love we show for our family will last forever.  We need to raise up our children in Christ or the world will do otherwise.

"Rear your children in love, in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Take care of your little ones. Welcome them into your homes, and nurture and love them with all of your hearts. They may do, in the years that come, some things you would not want them to do, but be patient, be patient. You have not failed as long as you have tried. Never forget that.” Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley
