Teachings
of Pres. Howard W. Hunter: Ch.11
“True Greatness”
Highlights: “Realizing who we are and what we may
become assures us that with God nothing is really impossible.”
A cerebral hemorrhage in 1981 left Claire
unable to walk or speak. Nevertheless, President Hunter sometimes helped her
out of her wheelchair and held her tightly so they could dance as they had done
years earlier. Elder James E. Faust later said that President Hunter’s “tender
loving care of his wife Claire for more than ten years while she was not well
was the most noble devotion of a man to a woman that many of us have seen in
our lives.”
Scripture:
Matthew 25:21
His greatness emerged in periods of his life
far from the spotlight as he made pivotal choices to work hard, to try again
after failing, and to help his fellowman. Those attributes were reflected in
his remarkable ability to succeed in endeavors as diverse as music, law,
business, international relations, carpentry, and, above all, being a ‘good and
faithful servant’ of the Lord.
