Sunday, Sunday

Just liked this quote. Read it a couple of times.

Happy Sunday!

Parents Must Teach by Example

"When parents try to teach their children to avoid danger, it is no answer for parents to say to their children, 'We are experienced and wise in the ways of the world, and we can get closer to the edge of the cliff than you.' Parental hypocrisy can make children cynical and unbelieving of what they are taught in the home. For instance, when parents attend movies they forbid their children to see, parental credibility is diminished. If children are expected to be honest, parents must be honest. If children are expected to be virtuous, parents must be virtuous. If you expect your children to be honorable, you must be honorable."

James E. Faust, "A Thousand Threads of Love," Ensign, Oct. 2005, 4

it is a great responsiblity - being parents - isn't it? as we do what we know we should with the pretense that we are setting good examples for our children, we are bringing ourselves closer to our Heavenly Father - thus, another of the million ways being a mother is getting me closer to my end goal. how simple and perfect this plan of happines is.
