Today I'm giving a lesson in Relief Society. My lesson is on L Tom Perry's conference talk "Becoming Goodly Parents". As I've reflected over this topic, I've really gained a great appreciation for my and Aaron's parents.
Our parents aren't just "Goodly" they're AMAZING!. Friday night for instance, my mom took 4 out of my 6 kids and had them sleep over at her house. Then Saturday morning she took all of them to a movie and lunch. She knew I'd had a crazy stressful week, so she wanted to not just help me out, but also spend some quality time with her grandkids.
Like the song "I am a child of God," I really feel like my parents have "lead me" and "guided me" and they always "walk beside me." They've "taught" and continue to "teach me all that I must do to live with Heavenly Father some day."
I'm so thankful for Kent and LouJean (My husband's parents). They've raised an amazing son, husband and father. I love that Aaron has such a close relationship with Heavenly Father. I feel so blessed that we were married in the temple and that our children are sealed to us. I pray that I can be a good example. Not just to my children, but also to others. -That I can be an instrument in Heavenly Father's hands.
