Father's Day

Today is Father's Day and I called my dad in PA to wish him a happy father's day. I also gave Jim a thoughtful card, and made him eggtoast for breakfast. I am grateful for my father and the father of my children.

I also turn my thoughts to my Father in Heaven. He has created my soul and sent me here to an earthly family to be tried and tested to learn and act on my own. Sometimes I wish the trials weren't so hard, but I also remember why I'm here, and I am not alone. If I could see Him, I'd give Him a big hug and kiss. But all I can do is pray my thoughts and love to Him.

I also think of Jesus Christ, my beloved Savior. I become His child as I obey His commandments and desire to live with Him throughout all eternity! I look forward to that great day and strive to become more like them.
