Our children and grandchildren measure our love by how much devoted time we give them.

Our children and grandchildren measure our love by how much devoted time we give them. Above all, don’t lose patience and don’t give up!

This reminds me of the quote by Dieter F. Uchtdorf

In family relationships love is really spelled t-i-m-e, time.

Since “no other success can compensate for failure”12 here, we must place high priority on our families. We build deep and loving family relationships by doing simple things together, like family dinner and family home evening and by just having fun together. In family relationships love is really spelled t-i-m-e, time. Taking time for each other is the key for harmony at home. We talk with, rather than about, each other. We learn from each other, and we appreciate our differences as well as our commonalities. We establish a divine bond with each other as we approach God together through family prayer, gospel study, and Sunday worship.
