Planting Seeds

My daughter, Stacy, gave my son, Cody, who is on a mission, a little kit for Christmas where he could plant grass seeds for hair on a little man. He planted the seeds, watered it, and patiently watched it grow into the very attractive hair style we see today.

Likewise, Cody is planting the seeds of the gospel every day as he tracts, and teaches people about the gospel. As he nourishes people with the good word of God and patiently watches over them, he will be able to rejoice with them as they embrace the joy that come through living the gospel of Jesus Christ.

I am grateful for the light of the gospel in my own life. My greatest joys in life have all been centered around the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am especially grateful for temple ordinances that seal our family together forever. As I watch our family grow with sons-in-laws and grandchildren, all striving to live the gospel, I feel great joy. I am grateful for the seeds of truth that my parents planted in my life, and for the seeds I planted in my children's lives. We are all reaping a great harvest!
