One of the biggest surprises of fatherhood to me was to realize how different each member of our family is. Each of us came to earth with unique and wonderful personalities.
Elder Wirthlin's talk from April General Conference reminded me of this when he spoke of:
What a great analogy! I like to think of our family as an orchestra, each unique and special, everyone contributing immeasurably to the beauty of the whole.

Elder Wirthlin's talk from April General Conference reminded me of this when he spoke of:
"... the erroneous belief that all members of the Church should look, talk, and be alike. The Lord did not people the earth with a vibrant orchestra of personalities only to value the piccolos of the world. Every instrument is precious and adds to the complex beauty of the symphony. All of Heavenly Father’s children are different in some degree, yet each has his own beautiful sound that adds depth and richness to the whole.
Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin, Concern for the One, April 2008 General Conference, Saturday morning session.
What a great analogy! I like to think of our family as an orchestra, each unique and special, everyone contributing immeasurably to the beauty of the whole.
Love,
Dad/Mark
