Rainbow Sherbet



“Some fathers provide a good house, clothing, cars, and food; and forget what real fatherhood is. Fatherhood is a relationship of love and understanding. It is strength and manliness and honor. It is power and action. It is counsel and instruction. Fatherhood is to be one with your own. It is authority and example. Elder Packer has counseled: ‘Most fathers concentrate on material security for their children. Security stored up for this lifetime with the world’s situation as it is, could, and probably will, vanish. To really secure one’s children, give them the memory of a happy home life.’ Create a wholesome atmosphere in your home. Let seeking minds find adequate family support for growth and development.” When President A. Theodore Tuttle spoke these words I was a girl hoping to someday marry someone who would be this kind of father to my children. Today, when I see the kind of fathers my sons have become, I think I didn’t do too badly.
