Age Quote by Boyd K. Packer
“Some worry endlessly over missions that were missed, or marriages that did not turn out, or babies that did not arrive, or children that seem lost, or dreams unfulfilled, or because age limits what they can do. I do not think it pleases the Lord when we worry because we think we never do enough or that what we do is never good enough…Some needlessly carry a heavy burden of guilt which could be removed through confession and repentance.”
