Twice a year we meet as a bigger church congregation, receiving guidance from our church leaders.
These meetings are called stake conferences.
These meetings are called stake conferences.
Last weekend we had a stake conference and we had a visiting speaker, Elder Scott D. Whiting from the first quorum of the Seventy.
He quoted President David O. McKay, one of the past Presidents of the LDS church:
“No other success can compensate for failure in the home.”
Then he went on telling how somebody asked President McKay later what he meant with "Failure in the home."
President McKay answered:
"Failure in home is when you give up."
I love that.
Sometimes I feel like I am falling short as a parent.
Sometimes it is hard to know what is the best thing to do when raising children.
How to best help them reach thier potential.
Sometimes I feel like I have no answers.
No patience.
No energy.
But as long as I keep trying, I have not failed.
