I really liked our discussion on dating. It reminded me a lot of when I was dating my husband. It was interesting to see the connections between protect, provide, and preside and paid for, planned, and paired off. It is amazing to see how we can practice our new roles and responsibilities while we are dating. Protect goes along with being paired off. Provide goes along with the date being paid for, and preside goes along with being planned. And in all those things I can be nurturing. Our Heavenly Father really has provided the way in every aspect of our lives. He is always there watching over us. He cares about the things we care about. "Because He came to earth, we have a perfect example to follow. As we strive to become more like Him, we will have joy and happiness in our lives and peace each day of the year. It is His example which, if followed, stirs within us more kindness and love, more respect and concern for others."
