This Father's Day we got to hold our own sacrament meeting by permission of our Bishop. That was a sweet experience for us. We watched Elder Hollands talk from the last conference and really felt the spirit strong from his testimony of the Savior. Then we had some BBQ Turkey for lunch at my husbands request. After which we called my Father and wished him a Happy Fathers Day. Then for dinner we headed to my in laws house to enjoy a dinner with my husbands family. Below is a 3 generation picture of my husband with his Dad and our son. They all share the same middle name which was originally inherited from my husbands Grandfather. I am so glad that they have this bond. I know that my son has great examples in all of these men that have preceded him. They all have shown great love for their families as well as love for their Father in Heaven. If he can grow to be like any of these men he will be a great man.
I also wanted to say how grateful I am for my own Father. I have learned a great deal about the Savior from him. I have also learned a lot about what it means to love from him. I hope that I can pass these lessons onto my children.
I am truly lucky to have all the great men in my life from good Fathers, a wonderful husband and inspiring brothers. They have all been there in different ways teaching me how to be a better person.
I am also truly thankful for a Father in Heaven who has been patient with me through my weaknesses. He has helped me avoid many obstacles in my life and has helped me navigate through difficult circumstances. I know he lives. I know that he sent his son to atone for my sins and I know that someday if I live as he would have me live that I will return to him again. I long for that day and truly hope to make him proud of me.
