It has to be an awfully good meeting to beat having no meeting at all.

Boyd K. Packer

Thoughts, like water, will stay on course if we make a place for them to go. As you learn to control your thoughts, you can gain courage, conquer fear and have a happy life.
BOYD K. PACKER

Gains Happy Life Water
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

Darkness House Symbolic World
If our view is limited to mortal life, some things become unbearable because they seem so unfair and so permanent.
BOYD K. PACKER

Unbearable Unfair Views
If the word is tolerance, grab that one, too, saying, “I expect you to be tolerant of my lifestyle-obedience, integrity, abstinence, repentance.” If the word is choice, tell them you choose good, old-fashioned morality.
BOYD K. PACKER

Choose Good Integrity Repentance Say
Fear is the opposite of faith. We move forward, certain that the Lord will watch over us, particularly in the family.
BOYD K. PACKER

Family Fear Particular
Devotion to the family and devotion to the Church are not different and separate things.
BOYD K. PACKER

Church Different Family
Seek worthy companions. Attend church faithfully. Never fail daily to seek for help through prayer. And I promise you that the way will be easier and you shall have a composure of mind and a confident attitude toward life and the future.
BOYD K. PACKER

Attitude Life Prayer
The Restoration began with the prayer of a 14-year-old boy and a vision of the Father and the Son. The dispensation of the fulness of times was ushered in.

Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more.
BOYD K. PACKER

Lord Remember Repented Sin
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
The idea that life began with mortal birth is preposterous. There is no way to explain life if you believe that.
BOYD K. PACKER

Believe Ideas Life Preposterous
The Spirit is a voice that one feels more than hears.
BOYD K. PACKER

Feels Spirit Voice
Husbands and wives should understand that their first calling-from which they will never be released-is to one another and then to their children.

Temple. One other word is equal in importance to a Latter-day Saint. Home. Put the words holy temple and home together, and you have described the house of the Lord!
BOYD K. PACKER

Home House Together
Faith, to be faith, must walk to the edge of the light, and then a few steps into the darkness. If everything has to be known, if everything has to be explained, if everything has to be certified, then there is no need for faith. Indeed, there is no room for it.
BOYD K. PACKER

Certified Edge Everything Faith
It was meant to be that life would be a challenge. To suffer some anxiety, some depression, some disappointment, even some failure is normal.

Disappointment Life Struggle
