Image
We could be like a father determined to provide everything for his family. He devotes every energy to that end and succeeds only then does he discover that what they needed most, to be together as a family, has been neglected. And he reaps sorrow in place of contentment.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
When music is presented which, however appropriate for other occasions, does not fit the Sabbath, much is lost. . . . The Spirit does not ratify speech nor confirm music which lacks spiritual substance.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
If you have seen one of the temples at night, fully lighted, you know what an impressive sight that can be. The house of the Lord, bathed in light, standing out in the darkness, becomes symbolic of the power and the inspiration of the gospel of Jesus Christ standing as a beacon in a world that sinks ever further into spiritual darkness.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
Teach yourself and teach your families about the gift of the Holy Ghost and the Atonement of Jesus Christ. You will do no greater eternal work than within the walls of your own home.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
Like most things of great worth, knowledge which is of eternal value comes only through personal prayer and pondering. These, joined with fasting and scripture study, will invite impressions and revelations and the whisperings of the Holy Spirit. This provides us with instruction from on high as we learn precept upon precept.

Reverence invites Revelation
Boyd K. Packer
Image
The Lord will bless us as we attend to the sacred ordinance work of the temples. Blessings there will not be limited to our temple service. We will be blessed in all of our affairs.

Some things that are true are not very useful.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
It was meant to be that life would be a challenge. To suffer some anxiety, some depression, some disappointment, even some failure is normal. Teach our members that if they have a good, miserable day once in a while, or several in a row, to stand steady and face them. Things will straighten out. There is great purpose in our struggle in life.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
Young men speak about the future because they have no past, and old men speak of the past because they have no future.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
Parents are with their children almost constantly and can observe when they are ready to be instructed. From questions or behavior or because of experiences in their own lives, they can sense that it is time to teach. Parents must know when the time for the lesson is now, right now, for their children are ready for it.

How grateful we are for you, our youth.

Image
There is little to be gained by seeking after the mysteries, for there is hardly time in a lifetime to master the plain and precious things.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
The atonement of Christ is not just for those who sin. The mercy of Christ encompasses all pain.
Boyd K. Packer
Image
Everyone is tested. One might think it is unfair to be singled out and subjected to a particular temptation, but this is the purpose of mortal life—to be tested. And the answer is the same for everyone: we must, and we can, resist temptations of any kind.
