Blessings of Reading the Book of Mormon
President Marion G. Romney testified of the blessings that can come into the lives of those who will read and study the Book of Mormon. He said:
"I feel certain that if, in our homes, parents will read from the Book of Mormon prayerfully and regularly, both by themselves and with their children, the spirit of that great book will come to permeate our homes and all who dwell therein. The spirit of reverence will increase; mutual respect and consideration for each other will grow. The spirit of contention will depart. Parents will counsel their children in greater love and wisdom. Children will be more responsive and submissive to the counsel of their parents. Righteousness will increase. Faith, hope, and charity--the pure love of Christ--will abound in our homes and lives, bringing in their wake, peace, joy, and happiness" (in Conference Report, April 1980, p. 90; or Ensign, May 1980, p. 67).
Just a little tidbit from my study today. I don’t know about anyone else, but those are blessings I can’t afford to do without.

It sounds so simple doesn't it? and all the blessings that can come from it! I know I definitely need those blessings...we're still workin' on it after all these years...wishin' we would have just made it a HABIT long ago...thanks for the reminder of what can be in store...
I love that quote...the trick is making time to do it!
Thanks for the encouragement !!!
The best time for our family has always been early morning. Sacrificing a little sleep at 5:40 am seemed to work with teenagers and busy working adults. It's a great way to begin our day. We always need those blessings.
