I was curious about the scripture that Pres. Monson quoted in the second to last paragraph and so I went searching. It is from Doctrine and Covenants 100, which is a "Revelation given to Joseph Smith the Prophet and Sidney Rigdon, at Perrysburg, New York, October 12, 1833. The two brethren, having been absent from their families for several days, felt some concern about them." What a marvelous blessing it was to have such a revelation from the Lord and it no doubt came in answer to the many prayers of Joseph and Sidney as they labored for the Lord's cause though their hearts were strained for the welfare of their families at home. And it is such an answer that the Lord will provide, as we learned in this article, for the families of those who work in ministering to the Lord's children, as we learned from text of this shining article as well. Thank you!
