With
Father's Day this weekend, I've been thinking a lot about how special and
crucial the role of a father is. The world seems to demean the title of being a
father, but we know the impactful difference they make. Elder D. Todd
Christofferson, in this past general conference spoke of fathers. "Greater
love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.(John
15:13) Fathers manifest that love as they lay down their lives day by day,
laboring in the service and support of their families."
Heavenly
Father has entrusted so many men to take on the role of earthly father to His
precious spirit children. Elder L. Tom Perry said, "Please remember your
sacred calling as a father in Israel-your most important calling in time and
eternity-a calling from which you are never released."
Elder
Christofferson says, "Perhaps the most essential of a father's work is to
turn the hearts of his children to their Heavenly Father." I am eternally
grateful for my dad, grandfathers, and uncles who have shown me the importance
of fatherhood, and who have magnified their callings to be such.
This
is one of my favorite mormon messages and so appropriate for this weekend
:)
I
love you all! God speed!
Love,
Sister Bowen
