The editorial in the December Journal, "Joseph of Nazareth—man of faith," was so touching and inspiring that I found myself moved to tears. It is a beautiful description of the qualities of true fatherhood.
How important and nurturing it would be for all of us to adopt the spirit of Joseph's example as we work with our own children, Sunday School pupils, and other members of our community! Our willingness to stand in the background, performing our works "in secret," and allowing their progress Spiritward to be our reward would surely bless the world.
An African game my children learned involves singing a song about "making wide the circle" and adding new members from the center to the outer dancing ring with each verse, until all are included in the ring: "You are my great, big friend, I'll take your hand, and dance in the ring with you."
