Great Talk: Within the Clasp of Your Arms
Someone recently brought this talk to my attention and I had to share it. I know it is addressed to fathers, but I think the message is great for both parents. To view the talk click here.
Here are few of my favorite parts
Within the Clasp of Your Arms- Jeffery R. Holland, General Conference (Priesthood Session, April 1983)
Brethren, a recent study conducted by the Church has forcefully confirmed statistically what we have been told again and again. That is, if loving, inspired instruction and example are not provided at home, then our related efforts for success in and around Church programs are severely limited. It is increasingly clear that we must teach the gospel to our families personally, live those teachings in our homes, or run the risk of discovering too late that a Primary teacher or priesthood adviser or seminary instructor could not do for our children what we would not do for them.
we all know fatherhood is not an easy assignment, but it ranks among the most imperative ever given, in time or eternity. We must not pull away from our children. We must keep trying, keep reaching, keep praying, keep listening. We must keep them “within the clasp of our arms.” That is what friends are for.
