Fatherhood is Hard. Alli and I were talking last night about how I am so upset about Blake's development. I feel like he should just automatically be able to do things after I try 50 times to teach him. When I read chapter 7 this morning I was able to reflect on how Heavenly Father must feel when he has tried to teach me things and I still disobey or fail to understand the principle. Heavenly Father is so patient with us. In verses 28-32 Enoch hears the Lord explain how He weeps for the residue of the Earth. We are the "workmanship of His hands", and he has given us our agency so that we may choose for ourselves.
I need to remember that Heavenly Father has given Blake his agency. All I can do is continue to teach him and love him and hope that he chooses to learn. It is sure hard sometimes though to remember to do this.

His patience is a tender mercy that He has granted us all. Thank heavens for do-overs and trying again. I'm very impressed that you are keeping a scripture blog and very thankful that Alli married you. You are a great dad and seem to me like you have ALOT of patience!
looks like you haven't read your scriptures in a while.... aaahh HA HA HA!
I need to get back in the groove! Thanks for the push!
