When He Sees You, Will He Smile?


Dear Young Women,

A few years ago, I went to Girl's Camp and I have never forgotten one of the great visions lessons that I heard while I was there. The wonderful teacher was talking about living our lives so that we make our Heavenly Father proud of us by the kind of life we live and at the end she said something like, "When that day comes and He sees us, will He smile?"
I've thought about that many, many times since then. I know our Heavenly Father loves each one of us and that He will be so happy to see each one of us again, but I hope that we are living our lives so that our actions would make Him smile as well.
Yesterday was Father's Day and although my father passed away many years ago, that visions lesson has often made me think about him too. Am I living my life so that I represent my family well? When I see my earthly father again, will he smile? In other words, do my actions TTYL?
I hope each one of us will remember that our actions not only reflect something about ourselves, but about our families as well. I want all our fathers to smile when they see us and know that we lived our life representing them well and that we are an example of what they have taught us.
I know many of you are getting ready for Girl's Camp - take a lot of pictures and don't forget to send them to us so we can put them on the blog! We hope you have a wonderful time and look forward to hearing all about it! TTYL~
