The end of all activity in the church is to see that a man and a woman with their children are happy at home, sealed for eternity.

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

Enough Never Good Thinking Worry
The gospel stands as true for those who reject it as for those who accept it – both will be judged by it.

Accepting Judge Rejects
The Spirit is a voice that one feels more than hears.
BOYD K. PACKER

Feels Spirit Voice
Some worry endlessly over missions that were missed, or marriages that did not turn out, or babies that did not arrive, or children that seem lost, or dreams unfulfilled, or because age limits what they can do.

There are many things about living the gospel of Jesus Christ that cannot be measured by that which is counted or charted in records of attendance.

Attendance Jesus Records
I’ve learned the power of the dictum, “Early to bed, early to rise.” When I’m under pressure, you won’t find me burning the midnight oil. I’d much rather be in bed early and getting up in the wee hours of the morning.
BOYD K. PACKER

Burning Learn Midnight Studying
I’m not ashamed to say that I want to be good. And I’ve found in my life that it has been critically important to establish this intention between me and the Lord so that I knew that HE knew which way I committed my agency.

The atonement of Christ is not just for those who sin. The mercy of Christ encompasses all pain.
BOYD K. PACKER

Fear is the opposite of faith. We move forward, certain that the Lord will watch over us, particularly in the family.

The flak is always the heaviest closest to the target
BOYD K. PACKER

Closest Ministry Target
You have that same agency. Use it wisely to deny acting on any impure impulse or unholy temptation that may come into your mind. Just do not go there, and if you are already there, come back out of it. ‘Deny yourselves of all ungodliness’ (Moroni 10:32).
BOYD K. PACKER

Already Come Impulse Mind Use
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.
BOYD K. PACKER

Hard Hurt Times Uplifting
In all that we do in the Church, we need to provide the way, as leaders, for parents and children to have time together as families.
