PresidentBoyd K. PackerOur Father’s plan requires that the shieldof faith be made and fitted in the family. The plan designed by the Fathercontemplates that husband and wife fiteach child individually with a shield of faith. It takes the steady strength of a father to hammer out the metal of it and the tender hands of a mother to polish and fit it on. In the Church we can teach about the materials from which a shield of faith is made: reverence, courage, chastity, repentance, forgiveness, compassion.

Mothers participate in God’s work

ElderJeffrey R. HollandOne young mother wrote to me recently thather anxiety tended to come on three fronts. But one thing, she said, keeps her going:‘Through the thick and the thin of this, andthrough the occasional tears of it all, I know deepdown inside I am doing God’s work. I know thatin my motherhood I am in an eternal partnership with Him. ‘It is this realization,’ she says, ‘that I try to recall on those inevitably difficult days when all of this can be a bit overwhelming. ‘It gives me hope. If I can be right before my Father in Heaven, perhaps His guidance to our children can be unimpeded. Maybe then it can be His work and His glory in a very literal sense’”
