HERO's..To whom are we a HERO

As a very young boy I loved to watch" #The Lone Ranger" and" #Roy Rogers" and as I got a little older it was "Bonanza" and John Wayne, and a bit older still, it was Clint Eastwood and older still it was Pres David O. McKay and my mission President Robert P Thorne. It was about that same time that I recognized my that my FATHER and older BROTHER played such an important roll in my life. I loved my Dad but worshiped my older Brother to the point that when he got into trouble I would beg my mother to punish me rather than him. My heart is so full today as I contemplate my other older brother and my relationship with him. You see my one older brother, to this day, I find his words echo in my words to others that I Love and care about. He has a very different way of showing his love. A punch in the arm or a sarcastic, kidding remark seem to bring a smile to my face and the #communication seems to happen. On the other hand, my other older brother is Always there for me whether I think I need him or not. He #listens when I am down, he praises me when I have done something good, and he seems to know what to say and when to say it to encourage me. #HERO'S, yes, certainly my Dad and older brother whom I mimic daily but most of all, my other older brother. I do try to emulate my other older brother but I find it difficult sometimes since he is so #perfect in all he says and does. He almost seems nonhuman.
     I often think about who is watching ME and MY ACTIONS. Who's life am I influencing, whether for the BETTER or Worse. HERO'S are great and we all need them in our lives but being a HERO to someone else, I've discovered, is Much More Important. I hope that someday my kids, #grand kids will see me as a Hero in their lives. Perhaps even more important are those who's lives I hope to #influence for the better of whom I will never know or hear about. Today I will emulate my OTHER Older Brother and maybe, just maybe, Influence someones LIFE for the better, TO WHOM WILL YOU BE A HERO???
