On Sunday Mornings I enjoy watching the weekly broadcast of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir called, ‘Music and the Spoken Word’. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the program, it consists of a number of choir performances, often an organ solo, and the ‘spoken word’, a short spiritual message about being a better person.
Being Fathers Day, they focused on Fatherhood. The message today started with a story about a father who came home from work to discover that his wife was feeling under the weather. (Sound familiar?) He proceeded to get the children occupied, drew his wife a bath, and took his kids out for a walk. A few days later he witnessed one of his children helping out their mother, and the child remarked that they were, ‘being like daddy’.
Whichever spouse you are, you are an example to you children. The type of person your children will become is largely learned from watching you. Christ told his disciples, “What manner of men ought ye to be? Verily I say unto you, even as I am.” As we work to serve our families, the example will be soaked in and your children will be the better for it.
