"I would encourage you to be available to your children. I have heard it said that no man, as death approaches, had ever declared that he wished he had spent more time at the office." - President Thomas S Monson
First Speaker
Work = To do what is needed to accomplish something.
DnC 104
15 And it is my purpose to provide for my saints, for all things are mine.
16 But it must needs be done in mine own way; and behold this is the way that I, the Lord, have decreed to provide for my saints, that the poor shall be exalted, in that the rich are made low.
17 For the earth is full, and there is enough and to spare; yea, I prepared all things, and have given unto the children of men to be agents unto themselves.
18 Therefore, if any man shall take of the abundance which I have made, and impart not his portion, according to the law of my gospel, unto the poor and the needy, he shall, with the wicked, lift up his eyes in hell, being in torment.
“To be truly self-reliant, you must learn how to work with others and turn to the Lord for His help and strength.” (For the Strength of Youth pamphlet)
Next Speaker
“We believe that far from being superfluous, fathers are unique and irreplaceable.”
...
“Some see the good of fatherhood in social terms, as something that obligates men to their offspring, impelling them to be good citizens and to think about the needs of others, supplementing ‘maternal investment in children with paternal investment in children. … In short, the key for men is to be fathers. The key for children is to have fathers. The key for society is to create fathers.’ (Blankenhorn, Fatherless America, 25, 26.) While these considerations are certainly true and important, we know that fatherhood is much more than a social construct or the product of evolution. The role of father is of divine origin, beginning with a Father in Heaven and, in this mortal sphere, with Father Adam.” (Elder D. Todd Christofferson, “Fathers”, April 2016 General Conference)
Genesis 17:17
17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
Next Speaker
All that we do in the Church is ministry (missionary work, temple work, teaching, serving, and so forth are all ministering.
Those you minister to need to feel loved.
“Fill your heart with love for others. This is the second great commandment. Try to truly see everyone around you as a child of God. Minister to them—regardless of whether their names appear on your ministering sister or brother list.
“Laugh with them. Rejoice with them. Weep with them. Respect them. Heal, lift, and strengthen them.” (Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “Missionary Work: Sharing What Is in Your Heart”, April 2019 General Conference)
