I am reading "The Miracle of Forgiveness." Just one of those must reads that I have never read.
I was just hit by a quote from Elder Boyd K. Packer.
"...Would you think me naive if I were to propsose that this battle ultimately will be won on such simple grounds as the children coming in after school to homemade bread and jam and mama there? Or on such grounds as daddy and mama taking their youngsters to sacrament meeting? Or that tender hug as they are put to bed and daddy and mama saying, "we need you in this family. You are a part of us, no mater what your troubles are, you can come home.""
WoW. O.K. O.K. a little outdated. Instead of homemade bread and jam, please insert teddy grahams and juicy juice.
Is it really that easy... I think it is.
maybe i'm not doing so bad...
