A Man Like Captain Moroni

Happy Father's Day!  Before I was married, I came across these scriptures in The Book of Mormon about Captain Moroni who led the Nephite army.  I decided that I wanted to marry a man like this:
Alma 48: 11-13 

And Moroni was a strong and a mighty man; he was a man of a perfect understanding; yea, a man that did not delight in bloodshed; a man whose soul did joy in the liberty and the freedom of his country, and his brethren from bondage and slavery;

 Yea, a man whose heart did swell with thanksgiving to his God, for the many privileges and blessings which he bestowed upon his people; a man who did labor exceedingly for the welfare and safety of his people.

 Yea, and he was a man who was firm in the faith of Christ…

President James E. Faust said about fathers:

"Brethren, noble fatherhood gives us a glimpse of the divine attributes of our Father in Heaven. A father should be many things. He should magnify his priesthood and be an example of righteousness. In companionship with his wife, he should be the source of stability and strength for the whole family. He should be the protector and the provider and the champion of the members of his family. Much of his love for his children should flow from his example of love, concern, and fidelity for their mother. By his uncompromising example he should instill character into his children."

Eric, thanks for being this kind of man and father.  You are a wonderful example to our children and to me!

Happy Father's Day!
