I've always felt that I had few of anything to share with other people. Unfortunately while looking through most of social media I've seen a trend of glorifying criticism. Looking back on the good influences on my life, most of them have been quiet hero's of faith. I don't know how much they ever realized how much of a giant they have been. I only hope that I can be as good to others as I they were to me.
My father was a good example of a faithful home teacher. He didn't seem to worry or fret about his regular visits to minister to families in the neighborhood. He just went out on his visits. He didn't always have a message prepared but he went anyway.
My older brother advised me from time to time. When I got my first set of scriptures my older brother marked his favorite scripture. At the time, I was annoyed that he had drew in my new scriptures. I look back on that with fondness now. While I was serving a mission in Louisiana he shared a scripture about the importance of bearing testimony of truth.
Over the years my mother cared about our faith greatly. She has shared with me the importance of family history. There is so many good people that has lead our family to live in a good place in a good way.
Even my older sister had some things to teach. In a round about way she taught me the value of not just doing what is right, but to appreciate the freedom of choosing to do right.
My younger brother taught me to be a better example to him. I might not have been the best of examples to him. I just hope that I have improved.
My wife has been an example of not living by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. She has lived by faith many times and came out conqueror.
While I was a boy I was taught about a good example of Moroni. Whose people were destroyed and he wandered the Earth alone, knowing the truths of God and not being able to share it without loosing his life. I was asked if I had what it takes to be faithful when everyone I knew turned away from the word of God. I think about that every time I feel alone in the world.
I'd like to express my gratitude to all the giants I've hitched a ride with over the years. I've gained strength from following Christ and being part of his restored church. With each new day may we come together back to the truths that we all knew when we lived together in God's kingdom.
