This post is part of the General Conference Odyssey. This week covers the Saturday Morning Session of the April 2002 Conference.
I liked Elder Packer's talk called "Children." It seemed like more of a long musing than a talk. He talked about children he'd seen in different countries, the poverty and hardships they experienced, and how much he thought of them and worried for them. It was sweet. And I liked this quote:
Nothing compares with a father who is responsible and in turn teaches his children responsibility. Nothing compares with a mother who is present with them to comfort them and give them assurance. Love, protection, and tenderness are all of consummate worth.
It feels simple and achievable. Not a mother who does everything right. Not a mother who is always patient. Just one who is "present with them to comfort them," who can love and assure them when things are hard.
