Values for My Children

Family Search's question for October 28th was: What values do you feel are most important to pass down to posterity?

I decided to go back through my old posts and see what I had wrote about what I wanted to teach Benjamin and Luna. This is what I found:

• I want to give them the opportunity to make their own choices when it comes to school, extra curricular activities, work and other interests.
• I want to teach them to work hard in school, and that will lead to working hard in life.
• I want to teach them to eat healthy.
• I want to teach them to make the right kind of sacrifices. Sacrifices that help them follow God's plan for them.
• I want to teach them to value a temple marriage.
• I want to teach them to value families.
• I want to teach them to value education. (That one might be mentioned several times because it's that important to Gerson and I.)
• I want to teach them about money the way my dad taught me: a little bit of responsibility at a time.
• I want to teach them how to build their own testimonies.
• I want to teach them to value friendship and to be kind and inclusive.
• I want to teach them to find joy in service.

And the most important:

I want to teach them to build a relationship with Jesus Christ and to follow His example.
