My Life, My Family Was Changed for the Better By My Accepting A Call to Teach A Deacons Quorum

 I urge those I love to accept and to magnify every calling offered them in the Church. That choice is one of the great keys to family happiness.

The pressures at every stage of life can tempt us to reject or neglect calls to serve the Savior. That can put us in spiritual peril for ourselves, our spouse, and our families. Some of those calls may seem unimportant, but my life, and my family, was changed for the better by my accepting a call to teach a deacons quorum. I felt the love of those deacons for the Savior and His love for them.

Why I liked it:  I was called to teach a Deacons Quorum 9 years ago.  Those boys are a part of me and I am blessed by our continuing associations.
