I many times wonder what our Father in Heaven thinks of His children here on earth.   When I say ‘children’ I refer to each and every one of us,  us humanoids who go about our lives working towards a goal; a life mission; a career; etc.   Does He ever think ‘If she/he only knew what was to come… would my children be more obedient; more patient; more forgiving; more merciful; less worried; less insulting; less offending.’

Well, guess what?   Great news, we have the ‘gospel’ or the ‘good news’ given to us!   And through living Prophets, we really ‘know’ what our Father in Heaven thinks of us and wants of us.   He is our Exemplar and our guide.   He gave his only begotten son, Jesus the Christ, for us to follow and learn from.   Thru their examples we can learn; grow; and become examples to our own earthly children, family and/or friends.   Let us press forward with faith, hold to the rod and Be an Example, a ‘good’ example in order to give us the opportunity to be that good bright light in the lives of our immediate/extended family and/or friends.

By being more obedient ourselves; more forgiving; more merciful; less worried; less insulting and less offending, those around us will follow and do as we do.   I know it to be true as I myself have followed and continue to follow those that lead me.
