The Future

What does the future hold?  What do I have to look forward to?  What kind of life am I providing for my children?  What do they have to look forward to?  I don't really have much in the way of this world nor do I have the means of offering my children much in the way of this world.  Ours is a simple life and we seem to get on okay but I wish that I could do more for them.  I try my best as a single father but I believe they are left wanting.  That is hard.  Maybe I am just feeling the anxiety of having them come home in a few days.  Maybe I am just worried that my offering is less than what they deserve.  I will press forward the best that I know how.  I will trust in the Lord that the gospel basics that I cling to will lift them, that they will be encircled by the Love of God and that they will recognize what really matters in life.  I hope that I can be strong, that I can be the father they need me to be.  I need to do a better job in a number of areas and be a better help and a better example for them.  Oh my goodness there is so much and I know that I am missing the mark in a lot of areas.  I pray that the Lord will help me, that He will make up the difference.  The Savior and his atonement provide hope for a bright future.
