Happy Sunday

We walked home from church. Played 'timber' with Caleb and talked while sitting on the bed. We sat down and had lunch. Then Caleb and David went to go play in the other room. Nothing out of the ordinary.

I was finishing cleaning up from lunch when I walked by and saw this. I had to pause. I realized that it was out of the ordinary. I just watched from behind the wall (and eventually documented with a picture) and enjoyed watching them love each other. Caleb was sitting on his Dad's lap reading books. Both still in their white shirt, tie removed, and top button undone. Caleb wants to be just like his 'Da-Da' and I am so glad he does. As President Hinckley said, this is what it's all about.

President Hinckley: "I believe in the family where there is a husband who regards his companion as his greatest asset and treats her accordingly; where there is a wife who looks upon her husband as her anchor and strength, her comfort and security; where there are children who look to mother and father with respect and gratitude; where there are parents who look upon those children as blessings and find a great and serious and wonderful challenge in their nurture and rearing. The cultivation of such a home requires effort and energy, forgiveness and patience, love and endurance and sacrifice; but it is worth all of these and more.

When all is said and done, this is what the gospel is about. The family is a creation of God. It is the basic creation. The way to strengthen the nation is to strengthen the homes of the people."
