Spiritual Eyes Ears and Voices

Spiritual eyes see afar
Into the distance
Unto a guiding star
Through perseverance

Spiritual ears hear the sound
Of the trumpet's call
Clear warnings are found
Lest a family fall

Spiritual voices speak
And testify of light
Discernment for the meek
Making knowledge bright

Pondering Elder Bednar
Ensign May 2010
"I bear witness that parents who consistently read and talk about the Book of Mormon with their children, who share testimony spontaneously with their children, and who invite children as gospel learners to act and not merely be acted upon will be blessed with eyes that can see afar off (see Moses 6:27) and with ears that can hear the sound of the trumpet (see Ezekiel 33:2–16). The spiritual discernment and inspiration you will receive from the combination of these three holy habits will enable you to stand as watchmen on the tower for your families—“watching . . . with all perseverance” (Ephesians 6:18)—to the blessing of your immediate family and your future posterity. I so promise and testify in the sacred name of the Lord Jesus Christ, amen."
