Discussing Faith

It seems only appropriate on Easter to share an impression that I felt more deeply today than in the past. Early this morning my wife and I set out various pictures depicting the Biblical account of the Savior's resurrection. While they were eating, I began to explain those pictures and to share with them my personal feeling about the Savior and his resurrection. They appeared to pause and listen and I felt a warm and encouraging sensation that told me that discussing my faith with my children, however personal or awkward/serious that discussion may seem, sinks deep into their hearts. They are sensitive to spiritual things and sensitive to the fact that they are very special to their father. I think part of a corporate dad's responsibility to provide includes providing a spiritual foundation of faith, as well as knowledge of right and wrong, not simply to provide shelter, food, and clothing. It seems like a very challenging time outside our doors, which to me means that families need their fathers at home more often so that their children can watch their fathers discuss and demonstrate their faith.
