Another excellent lesson, thanks bishop! One thing I don't understand is, is it not a good thing to have pride in our children? Maybe its just a english language issue, that there isn't a separate word for it.

[@karenheil2429]

That is a different type of pride. It's okay to feel gratitude for your children and the choices they are making. It's another thing to look at your children and compare them to other people and their children and think to yourself at least my children don't make those choices. I am extremely grateful for the loving children that I have but my heart also aches when I see the pain that parents go through when children are not making good choices. I think I would replace pride for gratitude.

@@karenheil2429 Great points all around :)

We would do well to use a different word, God does. I'm not sure why we have convinced ourselves that there is a positive form of pride (perhaps the Father of Lies has something to do with it). We love that word and won't let it go, so we wrest a meaning that was never intended. As President Benson taught, "There is no such thing as righteous pride." There is not a single time in all the scriptures where pride is used in a positive way. If that word had a positive application, wouldn't Heavenly Father be in the best position to appropriately use that word to describe his feelings for his son? Why didn't he use that word, and what word did he choose instead? I submit, that is the word we should be using.
