How long will it take the world to realize the Church is true??

So...we had a surprise guest speaker today in our Pediatric treatment class. She is a self-proclaimed expert in family and life management skills and has been teaching families and adults for about 25 years. At first I kind of doubted her expertise on the topic because so many people claim to be experts and don't really do anything but push their opinions and values onto you for a hefty fee. Anyway, it has been her experience that good families show respect to each other and especially give children respect (meaning dignity). They communicate, hold family meetings, value opinions of others....etc.

How long has the church counseled us to hold family home evenings, conduct individual interviews, respect and nurture our children, and openly communicate??? I know how long it took me to become converted to the gospel, and I am NOT saying that it is easy to do so when the world makes it so much easier not to believe. However, when experts can come out and state what we have known to be true for years, it makes me appreciate what I have been given.

I am very grateful for my small, growing testimony of the gospel and the church. I am even more grateful to be given such sound advice from our living prophet who leads and guides the church in this dispensation. I have many many things to work on to become a better parent, wife, and daughter of God. I have learned to communicate with my Heavenly Father through prayer and know that through Him all things are possible. My weaknesses will be made strengths if I desire for His will instead of my own. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
