When I raise my children, I want them to never see my wife and I fight, but instead sit them down with a box of legos and a fantastic vision while my wife and I settle our dispute elsewhere. I want to treat my wife like the daughter of God that she is, that my children will see this, and know how to treat their mother. I want to be peaceful in my heart and conscious in my actions, that I may make place for the spirit of God to dwell in me.
When I raise my children, I want to bring the spirit of the Lord into my home. I hope to be worthy of that honor. I hope to be worthy of the honor and the responsibility God gave me by guiding me to the lady I shall marry, and giving me the children we shall raise together. I want to fill their heads with knowledge, their hearts with love, their bodies with strength, and their spirits with peace.
When my children leave home, I hope to send them on their way with great dreams and aspirations, and a work ethic to match. Mostly, I hope to send them with the spirit. May it be so.
God's will be done always.
You're going to be such a great father, Dallin. This so beautiful.
