1987....he said something about his wife (mother of their 10
children) that reminded me of my own mother:
"I’m glad Sister Nelson has not tried to be a
“supermom.” But she has been a “soothing” mom. This
she has done simply by being herself.

Then President Nelson went on to quote a line from the
hymn, Improve the Shining Moments:

Dennis and I have been watching one talk by President
Nelson most every evening while we eat dinner. It has been
so fun getting to know him better, and learning from him.
There are 75 of them, and a website now that has all the
links in order.
The first talk start on April 1, 1984 when he was first ordained
an apostle. McKay was just 3 weeks old and I was in the
hospital with him that weekend. With each of his talks, I like
following along and compare what I was doing at that time in
my life.
I keep thinking how President Nelson said, "When priorities
are in place, one can more patiently tolerate unfinished
business."
That kind of explains my childhood.
