Reverence and Respect

Sorry I missed my posting Monday, but here is a thought to ponder during the week:

"If reverence is an attitude towards Deity, then it is a private feeling. It is something we feel inside our hearts no matter what is going on around us. It is also a personal responsibility. We cannot blame others for disturbing our reverent attitudes. Where, then, does the development of reverent attitudes begin? The home is the key to reverent attitudes, as it is to every other godlike virtue."

--L. Tom Perry, "Serve God Acceptably with Reverence and Godly Fear'", Ensign, Nov 1990, 70
