The Joy of Honest Labor
Elder L. Tom Perry
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Parents should teach children the joy of honest labor, thrift and avoiding waste and debt, building character for life.
“Train up a child in the way he should go”
“I want it now”
“He was using the straightened nails not to rebuild our home”
“but to build my character.”
Scriptures
Prov. 22:6; Mosiah 2:12, 14; 2 Thes. 3:8–9
