Father's Day Talk

Jacob is giving a talk today on fathers. He did a good job preparing. I was pleased that he came up with the idea that we have a Heavenly Father and an earthly father. He talked about them and what they do. He shared some points/examples from a couple of fathers in the scriptures. He also said we have fathers in the church and gave some information about that. I was grateful that he chose to go with that. He found all of the references himself and wrote it by himself. He shared about a time when Layne shared his testimony as part of what fathers here on earth can do for us. I was so glad he chose not to go the route of telling several stories about his dad that may or may not have been relevant to a gospel principle. I think it showed maturity and spiritual awareness. He's a great kid.
I didn't get to go hear it. Rachel is sick and I'm home with her. Layne went. He is not feeling well today and so I was a little concerned about him going. I'm hoping all is well.
