#BecauseofHim

Because of Him, I can be a better daughter. 

There’s a photo challenge I found, thanks to an instagraming friend, Lavinia.  With Easter coming up, I’m doing the “Because of Him” challenge.  Today’s topic is above.

In the past I have found some photo challenges that I thought I would do, but then I always missed the first day.  That OBVIOUSLY meant that I couldn’t start it, right?  This challenge is different, and requires more thinking.  I look forward to reflecting on how Jesus Christ has played a role in my life in very specific ways.

Daughter…

I like to think I’m a good one!  Just ask my parents… I was the angel child. ;)  But how has Christ made me a better daughter?

I’m nowhere near perfect, and obviously have a long way to go for that, but I can try to follow the example of our brother, being obedient, humble, and teachable, etc.  As I have learned lessons as parent, I can see the opposite of how I should behave, as a child.  I am a child to my earthly parents, as well as Heavenly parents.  I hope to be a daughter of which my parents can say they are “well pleased.”

Mom and Dad- they have truly been my lifeline.  I’ve actually thought a lot about that lately.  As the three of us attended the temple last week, I realized how blessed I am to have a relationship where we are so close.  We WANT to spend time together.  We WANT to take vacations together.  We WANT to hear about each other’s days.  Heavenly Father blessed me beyond measure with my family.  And because of Christ’s atonement, we can be a family for eternity.
