I have had some experiences of late that have been concerning when it comes to my children. I don't know that I fully understand how challenging parenthood is. There are things that you try to teach your children and you have no idea if any of it is sticking. There are new experiences everyday that can challenge the very things or values you are trying to teach and establish. Sometimes children get exposed to certain behaviors through no fault of their own that can be harmful to them both spiritually and mentally. Being able to be an anchor of righteousness for your children isn't always an easy thing to do. How do we press forward with faith and hope in Christ and avoid fearing for their future? I don't know how to entirely answer that question. I think there isn't just one right answer but I would also say that attending the Temple is a good way to press forward with Faith in Christ. It is a good way to chase out fear and it fills us with hope.
Tonight I was able to make the trip down to St. George where I spent some time in the Temple. I am grateful that I was able to go and for the perspective being there gave me. I need to be there more often so that I can arm myself with faith and a hope for my children which faith casts out fear.
