Cat's Cradle

“In today’s world, a person’s importance is often judged by the size of the audience before which he or she performs. That’s how sports programs are rated, how corporate prominence is determined, and how governmental rank is obtained. That may be why roles such as father, mother, and missionary seldom receive standing ovations. Fathers, mothers, and missionaries play before very small audiences. Yet in the eyes of the Lord there may be only one size of audience that is of lasting importance—and that is just one, each one, you and me, and each one of the children of God. The irony of the Atonement is that it is infinite and eternal, yet it is applied individually, one person at a time. We are children of God. Each one of us is precious to the point of bringing the Lord God Almighty to a fullness of joy if we are faithful, or to tears if we are not.” – Elder M. Russell Ballard
