As I was watching my little nephew, recently, he shared with me a story about picking blackberries with my brother. While he was out with his cousin and my brother picking blackberries, my brother fell in the blackberry bushes. My brother needed help and he was only with 2 little children who could help him. My nephew had to pull him out. If any of you know about blackberry bushes, the thorns are not fun to get stuck in your skin or on your body. They are very painful. When my nephew told me the story, I was worrying about my children, and some of the struggles that they are facing. I thought about the blackberry bushes and how many times my children have symbolically pulled me from the blackberry bushes. I listened to different general conference talks, which brought me comfort. One of the talks that touched me was from Elder Uchtdorf called Jesus Christ is the Strength of Parents. Join me today as I share seven things that Elder Uchtdorf talked about in his talk. Dieter f Uchtdorf said, “Parents, thank you for everything you’re doing to raise your children. And children, thank you for everything you’re doing to raise your parents, because as every parent knows, we often learn as much from our children about faith, hope, and charity as they learn from us!”
