Doing Our Best with Our Families

"Sometimes as parents we feel we have failed when our children make
mistakes or stray. Parents are never failures when they do their best to
love, teach, pray, and care for their children. Their faith, prayers, and
efforts will be consecrated to the good of their children. . . . No family
has reached perfection. All families are subject to the conditions of
mortality. All of us are given the gift of agency--to choose for
ourselves and to learn from the consequences of our
choices."

(Robert D. Hales, "With All the Feelings of a Tender Parent," Ensign, May 2004, 88)
