I strive to be like him

A YOUNG MANS WISH FOR EVERYONE

I have often pondered about the meaning of Christmas. I know its the day Christ was born. I also wondered why is it only around Christmas time does everyone choose to be more better.

Why can"t we be like this all year round???

As a young man of 24 years of age my journey has been a journey of experience and understand.

I have found out what the problem is in this world and where it all begins.
*please keep in mind this is just my experience.

Anybody in this world can turn on the TV or walk out your front door and see nothing but saddness, depression, anger, pride, violence, pride, selfishness.

You see it everywhere, at your job, your home, in your relationships, in our children .. the list goes on. I have seen and heard, watched many people from all walks of life try to fix this problem.

We I'm not saying I have all the answers ..because I don't. but i can tell you where it starts.

*It all begins in our homes*
What we teach our children is so important because if the parents are not teaching their kids with love. then thats where we fail.

It is so easy for us to get angry that we fail to see that the problem starts with us. All we like to do is point the fingers because we can't humble ourselves. We are too blinded by our pride.

I see too many parents yelling at their kids.

Forgive me for being very bold, but parents.. it is your responsibility to make sure your kids learn how to love and respect others.

You want your kids to grow up with respect and honor and love. Then YOU MUST TEACH THEM THIS. but do not give up.

I will give you a secret on how to do this. The is a power that can overcoming everything. A power that when used, can change your whole life. It is the greatest power in the world that can over come EVERYTHING.

That power my friends is the POWER OF LOVE. Love can overcome ANYTHING. The moment you stop using this power is when it fails.

Your home should be a refuge against the evils of the world. Teach with love and your future will be glorious .
My wish for everyone this new year is that we will turn to love when the skies get dark and the storms of evil try to break our familiys apart.
May Heavenly father bless you always and keep you safe. I hope this letter reaches your hearts in some degree.

PS if your wonderin if I'm a Mormon you would be right. Happy Holidays everyone.
