My big picture

In charlotte Mason she wants us to write down what we want our children to be like when they are ready to leave our house. I thought about this and this is what I came up with. It is a little rambled but that is ok by me. So here goes.
When my children are standing at the door ready to leave my home I want to see someone who has a strong testimony of the Lord and have a personal relationship with Him. I want them to know who they are and what they want in life and know what it takes to make that happen. I want to see some one who who has strong values and has the courage to stand up to defend those values when necessary. I want to see someone who knows what hard work is and the benefits of that work. I want to see someone who knows what quality is because they have produced that.
I want to see someone who loves truth and liberty. Someone who loves this country and our founding fathers and who will fight for the freedoms that God has given us. I want them to know how our country was found and the sacrifice that it took to make us free. I what them to know how to stand up and defend our country and be willing to do so in times of need. I what them to love this county almost as much as they love the Lord.
I want them to have a thirst for knowledge. I want them to know who they are and what their purpose is in this life. I have a Friend who calls it "mission". I will call it that as well. I what them to know why they are here and what they are supposed to do while in this life. I want them to be able to fulfill that mission and have the world, society, town, ward, neighbors, or even just their home benefit from that. I want them to have the confidence to look at some thing that needs to be done and say to themselves that they can do that. Then do it.
I want them to marry in the temple of the Lord for time and all eternity. I want them to find someone who will love them and respect. I want them in return to love and respect their spouse and know what it takes to create a happy home and a unified marriage.
I will probably add to this but for now this is good.
Enjoy. : )
