#lighttheworld Honor thy father and thy mother

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints sponsors a "Light the World" campaign at Christmas. Today is Honor thy Father and thy Mother. My parents are both in Heaven with God. I was born of goodly parents who raised me to love God and my family. They taught me the gospel of Jesus Christ, they taught me of Him and showed me by their example how to be like Him. My father was a kind man, a very hard worker. He was not happy to be idle, wherever we visited he asked for or found ways to be of service, to work. My mother was very  intelligent, she loved to read and to learn. She loved the temple. I was so blessed to have parents who loved each other and loved their family. I am grateful to have had such good examples. They had a love and devotion for the gospel, they were true disciples of Jesus Christ. I am also grateful to my husbands parents, they raised him to be a man of God, to worthily hold the priesthood. Words seem to fail me as I wish to express the depth of my feelings but struggle to find words that convey those feelings adequately. I hope to be an honor to my parents by the way I live my life. I love them!
