Fun-filled Tradition



I just wanted to share a moment of reflection today.

I am grateful for all our family traditions. I am especially grateful for the tradition we share twice a year where we attend the Priesthood session of General Conference. It is a privilege for me to have the opportunity to spend time with my father, grandfather and uncles. I look forward to passing this tradition on to my own boys. In a few years we will have four generations in attendance. I am so thankful for the examples from the priesthood holders in my family. I am equally thankful for their example to my boys too. I am also full of gratitude for the teachings from the authorities in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. In a world full of confusion and lack of direction, the outlines, teachings and covenants help to make things clear.

Barbara and Grandma have become a significant part of the Priesthood Session tradition. They do a wonderful job of filling our bellies and showing appreciation for the priesthood in their lives. I hope they know our appreciation for them is equal.

Robert, thanks for sharing these pictures with us! I wish I could have been there to help Barbara and Grandma make the food and to hang out with such great men!
