To Walk By Faith - Myrna
The reason I am sharing my story is in hopes that parents can feel of the important role they can play in their children’s’ lives, even into adulthood. I always felt my home was a safe place and my parents gave me many opportunities to feel the spirit to the point that when I had a spiritual dream, I knew the source of it and had to return to the church. So even if you feel your words are falling on deaf ears, or that all the energy to follow God and the prophets to raise your children is too hard and not working, I testify that it is working. Keep up the work and you will see the fruit of your labor, someday hopefully in this life time.
