I really like this quote about doing family history work.
There are times in people's lives when they just can't contribute alot of
TIME to the work itself, such as when a young mother has several young
children to care for, etc.
BUT, the nice thing is that there WILL be a time she can contribute more ..
.and she IS contributing alot to HER OWN 'FAMILY HISTORY' by raising
righteous children!! :)
But even when someone can't contribute alot of time to it, there are still
things that can be done that are worthwhile, such as journal writing...
watching someone else's children while they go to the temple, maybe they can
even do a baptism or two for that person's ancestors!
I like this quote so much I think I will print it out and put it on my
bathroom mirror so I remember it every day!!
Thanks for posting it!
