“One lovely sister, a Relief Society instructor, was known
for preparing flawless lessons. One time she decided to create a quilt that
would serve as a backdrop to the theme of her lesson. But life intervened.
There were children to pick up from school, a neighbor who needed help moving,
a husband with a fever, and a friend who was lonely. The day of the lesson
approached and the quilt was not completed. She worked all night on the quilt. The
next day she was exhausted and barely able to organize her thoughts. But she
bravely stood and delivered her perfect lesson. The quilt was stunning, the
stitches perfect, the colors vibrant, the design intricate. At the center of it
all was a single word that triumphantly echoed the theme of her lesson:
Simplify.” – Dieter F. Uchtdorf
