The ideal truth about family life

Posted on 9:52 PM by Unknown
*

For those who haven't yet seen it, there is a wonderful recent video, Earthly Father, Heavenly Father on the LDS church website:

http://www.lds.org/media-library/video/mormon-messages?lang=eng#2013-01-002-earthly-father-heavenly-father

This is an ideal, but true, depiction of Fatherhood; and of family life as - in its best moments - an earthly microcosm of Heaven.
