This Young Man
had a day off from school yesterday.
And what did he choose to do with his free time?
GO TO THE TEMPLE.
What a pleasant surprise it was
to hear him ask if he could go do baptisms for the dead with his friends.
I didn't even know you were allowed to attend the temple
without adult supervision.
But in the afternoon off they went,
and I was so proud.
He is an EXAMPLE to me.
I often hear about the Strength of our youth,
and I know my oldest will need this spiritual strength
to help him through these turbulent teenage years.
I remember feeling that spiritual strength in my youth.
I KNEW that our Father in Heaven knew me individually and
I could feel his love and concern for me.
That knowledge saved me
and gave me hope to be the best I could be
and to ask for forgiveness when I made mistakes.
I pray I can help all my children to gain the testimony they will need
of their Father in Heaven and of their Savior
so that they can feel GOOD about themselves,
can do AMAZING things, and
can be a GREAT EXAMPLE to others.
