Fourth Week Lesson

The 4th Sunday lesson is President Packer's talk. "These Things I Know." Jessica Lewis gave the lesson. She first read the poem read by President Packer's about what he has learned as he has aged. One sister said she noticed that it was not until he was 88 did he understand who the Lord is. Sister Davis said she noticed is that we appreciate what we have learned as we grow older. Emily Campbell says she is now able to see things in a deeper way because of the trials she is going through. Also noticed is. His emphasis on his family and his relationship with the Lord. Some of the lessons he learned, we will not always be safe and we need to protect our fledglings. We find safety by honoring our covenants and being obedient. That family is the most important gospel principle.sister Craig quoted someone else saying we may not have wards and stakes in heaven, but we will have families.sister Bahr said no matter how they get there, if nestlings are in your nest, they are yours. Another thing President Packer knows is the power of the priesthood and a father's role. Women need to know that it is our job to encourage the men to want the responsibilities of the priesthood and treat them. He said that faith is a real power, especially the faithful prayer of a mother has power. Faith is the way we live and is the foundation. Sister Hickman said her son Brent found he had a brain tumor after he was made bishop and a professor and he said he had been given all these things so he could get through this trial and God would provide. One sister said it was the prayers of her mother that she eventually made it to where she is. Sister Lee said she was told that the goal of mothers and the foal of the Lord is the same for his children, even if a mother is not your mother.
