Your efforts [as a parent] may seem small compared to the loud voices your children hear in the world. At times it may feel that you’re not accomplishing much. But remember that “by small means the Lord can bring about great things.”⁷ One home evening, one gospel conversation, or one good example may not change your child’s life in a moment, any more than one drop of rain causes a plant immediately to grow. But the consistency of small and simple things, day after day, nourishes your children much better than an occasional flood.⁸ – Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “Jesus Christ is the Strength of Parents,” Ensign (CR) May 2023
