As part of the Celebration of the Family Proclamation, we have been invited to consider a photo essay regarding some facet of the proclamation. I chose:
"By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families."
"By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families."
Providing the necessities...hmmm.
A Photo Essay
A father's role is to provide the basics of life - food, shelter, education, as well as the spiritual essentials such as family prayer, family scripture study and FHE.
I'm pretty sure if there had been more room, they would have included most of these things.
I am not quite sure why these items weren't specifically listed. Perhaps it is because it is now a "worldwide church" and necessities vary from place to place.
*Yeah. The black velvet Elvis painting is questionable - maybe more of a "want" than a "need"- but I did see a black velvet painting of Joseph Smith in Tijuana once.
Shoulda bought it - It was fabulous.
I am sure that my dh's list would also include a few of those "alternates"! :)
ReplyDeleteCompletely awesome! Thanks for making me smile. :)
ReplyDeleteThe false eye-lashes...I had no idea that was a necessity. I need to amend my "need" list now. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI think I saw that same velvet Joseph Smith, MMM! It is one of those things I have regretted not purchasing ever since, simply for the laugh factor. Man, what I wouldn't give to go back and time and lay down the cash for that thing.
ReplyDeleteI pretty much need those zingers although the pink ones are much better.

Sandy: Heretic!
ReplyDeleteSostinkinhappy: Yeah, one of my bigger regrets in life.
Wait a minute you forgot one very important thing

Please kindly look into revising your list.
advil pm.....awesome :)
ReplyDeleteChocolate and Advil PM are definite must haves on your list. Also for military families its a smart phone with Skype capability.
ReplyDeleteI think I will have to jump on the band wagon of this picture essay. It's a good one to hitch a ride on!
ReplyDeleteI like that implied list and I am getting in the car and driving to Tijuana this very minute!!
ReplyDeleteI love this so much. Thanks for sharing!
