were is my heart?

Since the start of this year I have found myself evaluating my role as a father and took a good look at how I am doing. The more I looked the more I saw. The reading this week was filled with material that lifted the reader’s ideals and ultimate and fundamental goals higher. I have been taught by the spirit of the first few weeks of this month and this continued this week. Funny thing is the more we thing on a specific aspect the more tools we are given to receive further guidance. I have been asked to speak on "The Priesthood in the Home" and this further heightened my awareness around what is at my core, driving me. 

This last Monday someone asked that we think of how our Heavenly Father would treat us if he were here? Would he ever shout at us or use compulsion to get us to do what he wants? He asked why do we then shout at each other and even our children? That is not the pattern our Father has set for us. 

This type of searching ties in with what I experienced with this week’s reading. If my heart is in the right place I will act differently because I see things differently.
