Some people think a miracle is only a miracle if it happens instantaneously, but miracles can grow slowly and patience and faith can compel things to happen that otherwise never would have come to pass.

More quotes by Boyd K. Packer
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
The rapid, sweeping deterioration of values is characterized by a preoccupation-even an obsession-with the procreative act. Abstinence before marriage and fidelity within it are openly scoffed at-marriage and parenthood ridiculed as burdensome, unnecessary. Modesty, a virtue of a refined individual or society, is all but gone.
Boyd K. Packer
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.
Boyd K. Packer
I do not think it pleases the Lord when we worry because we think we never do enough or that what we do is never good enough.
Boyd K. Packer
No teaching is equal, more spiritually rewarding, or more exalting than that of a mother teaching her children.
Boyd K. Packer
I have a hard time with historians because they idolize the truth. The truth is not uplifting it destroys. I could tell most of the secretaries in the church office building that they are ugly and fat. That would be the truth, but it would hurt and destroy them. Historians should tell only that part of the truth that is inspiring and uplifting.
Boyd K. Packer
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.
Boyd K. Packer
The ultimate purpose of every teaching, every activity in the Church is that parents and their children are happy at home, sealed in an eternal marriage, and linked to their generations.
Boyd K. Packer
The power of procreation is not an incidental part of the plan it is the plan of happiness.
Boyd K. Packer
Perhaps no other book has been denounced so vigorously by those who have never read it as has the Book of Mormon.
Boyd K. Packer
One of the adversary's sharpest tools is to convince us that we are no longer worthy to pray. No matter who you are or what you may have done, you can always pray.
Boyd K. Packer
At the temple the dust of distraction seems to settle out, the fog and the haze seem to lift, and we can 'see' things that we were not able to see before and find a way through our troubles that we had not previously known.
Boyd K. Packer
It has to be an awfully good meeting to beat having no meeting at all.
Boyd K. Packer
Those who choose, conduct, present, and accompany the music may influence the spirit of reverence ... more than a speaker does.
Boyd K. Packer
A testimony of the hope of redemption is something which cannot be measured or counted. Jesus Christ is the source of that hope.
Boyd K. Packer
The answer is the same for everyone: we must, and we can, resist temptations of any kind.
Boyd K. Packer
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
The gift of the Holy Ghost operates equally with men, women, and even little children. It is within this wondrous gift and power that the spiritual remedy to any problem can be found.
Boyd K. Packer
If prayer is to leave the public schools, let the ridicule of prayer leave also.
Boyd K. Packer
The flak is always the heaviest closest to the target
