Introduce the Principle

President Harold B. Lee declared, “The most important … work you will ever do will be within the walls of your own home” (“Maintain Your Place as a Woman,” Ensign, Feb. 1972, 51). You can be a part of this “important work” by doing small things that invite the Spirit into your home and making it a holy place, whatever your circumstances.

You can invite the Spirit into your home through simple means such as Christlike actions, wholesome entertainment, good music, and inspiring artwork. You can set the example and help other young women strengthen their family.

Learn Together

  • Read the section on “Family” in For the Strength of Youth. Discuss how young women can invite the Spirit into their home and strengthen their family.
  • Watch the video “Through Small Things.” How did these youth lead out in their family to invite the Spirit into their home and make it a holy place? What were the results of their actions?

Live What We Are Learning

  • What are you willing to do to feel the Spirit in your home? Follow the bishop’s challenge in the video “Through Small Things” and write down ways you will make your home a holy place for two weeks. How did you change? How did your home change? Share with your class presidency what you learned from this experience.
  • Think of the young women in your class and the circumstances of their families. As you plan Young Women lessons and Mutual activities, consider how you can help each young woman strengthen her family. How can you help her live the principles in For the Strength of Youth and contribute to making her home a holy place?
