Walking

Kingston is already starting to learn how to walk. He walks around holding on to furniture, toy walkers and our hands of course. Well I got out his toy that he can hold onto and walk so he could practice. As we started I noticed that it was crooked and already headed for disaster! And I'm the one that got him on it that way. Which then made me think about how it is also my job to get him on the right path in life. In many ways we can do this but particularly the gospel. If at home we aren't reading the scriptures together as a family or saying family prayer or having family home evening or setting high standards or...ok you get the point, then we are putting them on a path to destruction. It's our job to lead the way, set the expectations and essentially place them on the straight and narrow path.

I loved this talk by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf about "a matter of a few degree's". Even a slight degree change can change the course of our lives. If we don't have it set straight for our children in the beginning then chances are we are not leading them to the right path.
