I was reading and listening to general conference talk of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I saved it to my Facebook page if you want to check it out.
The Eternal principle of Love. By Elder Hugo Montoya.
Suddenly, the fact came to my mind that my children are not just my children, they are my spiritual brothers and sister.
We, everyone that lives on earth, are all children of a loving Heavenly Father. I know and knew this but I guess I needed a reminder.
It is still my responsibility to help my children because I am their earthly father, but they are also my spiritual brothers and sister. A very special relationship and responsibility exists.
Every person on earth is a brother or a sister, a “neighbor”. But some of our brothers and sisters were given the opportunity to have a slightly different relationship with one another. We are still brothers and sisters. We are still neighbors. But a parent child relationship should be different. It should have a different tone to it. We should care for each other differently. If we think about the love that Heavenly Father has for each of us, hopefully each of us has similar love for our earthly children.
That doesn’t mean we do everything for them so they can’t do anything for themselves. But the relationship is and should be different.
