Failed Mormon Parents

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

Parents Mormon Failed

Considering God has already lost one third of his children, we should realize that even a perfect Parent cannot make his or her children become what they willingly choose not to become.
