Family time is sacred time and should be protected and respected.

Boyd K. Packer

Every soul confined in a prison of sin, guilt, or perversion has a key to the gate. The key is labeled “repentance.” If you know how to use this key, the adversary cannot hold you.

In the eternal scheme of things – not always in mortality – righteous yearning and longing will be fulfilled.
BOYD K. PACKER

Longing Mortality Schemes
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.

Some things that are true are not very useful.

Some Thing Useful Very
When some unworthy thought pushes into your mind, replace it with your delete key. Worthy music is powerful and can help you control your thoughts.
BOYD K. PACKER

Control Mind Thoughts Unworthy
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.
BOYD K. PACKER

Faith People Thinking
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.

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.

The idea that life began with mortal birth is preposterous. There is no way to explain life if you believe that.

The Atonement has practical, personal, everyday value; apply it in your life. It can be activated with so simple a beginning as prayer.
BOYD K. PACKER

Everyday Prayer Simple
The ultimate effort of everything in the Church is to the end that a father and a mother and their children can be happy at home. If they are happy at home, they are spiritually prepared for whatever should be ahead of them in the world.

When temptation comes, you can invent a delete key in your mind- perhaps the words from a favorite hymn. Your mind is in charge; your body is the instrument of your mind.

Historians should tell only that part of the truth that is inspiring and uplifting.
BOYD K. PACKER

Historians Inspire Truth
I know that God is our Father. He introduced His Son, Jesus Christ, to Joseph Smith. I declare to you that I know that Jesus is the Christ. I know that He lives. He was born in the meridian of time.
BOYD K. PACKER

Father Jesus Son
Parents now are concerned about the moral and spiritual diseases. These can have terrible complications when standards and values are abandoned. We must all take protective measures.
BOYD K. PACKER

Disease Parent Spiritual
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.
