A Letter to my Kids



Being a parent is more than a little bit overwhelming.  You have all the best intentions when you start, you want to do everything “perfectly.”  You never think you’ll make mistakes, you never intend to make mistakes!  You have a long list of things you want to do to enrich your children's lives.  You want to teach them everything they need to know to be safe, happy, and successful in life.  You want your kids to know how much you love them, how much Heavenly Father loves them-because after all, you are HIS, you are just on loan from HIM.  God trusted us enough to send you to us.  For that, I am eternally grateful!

My patriarchal blessing says this about you:  “Some of the most choice of the spirit children of our Father will be entrusted to your care, that you may teach them and guide them through childhood and youth to be faithful in the Kingdom of our Father in their adulthood.”  These are words from GOD to me about you.  You were reserved to come to earth at this time for God’s special purpose.  HE has a purpose for you and your job is to keep the commandments and follow HIM, so HE can direct you in the direction HE envisions for you.  

As Gods children, you have been promised by HIM that HE will always be there for you.  He loves you dearly and wants only your happiness in this life and in the life to come!  You can turn to HIM in every hardship, in every trial, in every challenge, in every decision you make.  Trust HIM to lead you on the paths that will bring contentment in life and eternal happiness in the life to come! If you could see yourself the way GOD sees you, you would be amazed at your potential!  You are a spiritual force to be reckoned with.  Never forget this!  You have been blessed with all the tools you need to overcome the most difficult trials, and to live the most fulfilling life.  Heavenly Father has made that promise to you.  I pray every day that you will find and realize these blessings.

I love you more than anything!
