Tower battle lessons

My son is going to be an incredible man. This is a thing I have always hoped and am yet astounded at how much better he will be than I even imagined.

As this post title suggests it was inspired by the revelations that poured in after playing with him for a bit today on Roblox.

Before playing, I only heard music from the games an ocassionally ansewered affirmatively when asked if I saw or liked what the kids did. It has replaced Minecraft as the number onecontender for attention around here. It allows me to get so much done, but I had to play along with them now to see exactly what they spent so much of their existence on.

I was pleasantly surprised to see my little boy was choosing to learn how through strategy cordinate different specialists to achieve a win over the many minions and bad guys who came wave after wave. I also noticed hiw easy it was to think I was good when I played with him because he always protected me and used his great power to make things easier for me.

When we had multiple players one player seemed to act counter intuitively by using earned income to place a DJ. The whole game is stratagedy and this seemed wrong to me. When he could have afforded another soldier. So, I asked WHY DID YOU DO THAT? WHAT ON EART DOES A DJ EVEN DO?  Ends up, he was sacrificing his strength to help me cause Joe asked him to. A DJ made my attacks mire powerful and efficient aswell as allowing me to upgrade more. How thoughtful! We won! And I am sure I would not have done so alone. The game brocasts a message before each game that reminds the objective and that no one method always works. I thought, except teamwork!

A lesson a few weeks ago for FHE was about strengthening a family, based on a talk by Boyd K. Packer. An in it he told a parable which was a much deeper explanation of the roles of men and women and how they depend on eachother.

This is my answer and why I did not get the apartment or job when I certainly "could" have achieved such objectives ifI wanted to. It is better for me to allow Nick to provide for our family.

I have no doubt that I COULD provide and acheive as I see logical or best as I see things, but that is not the best thing for me to do in this family right now. I learned that from playing tower battles with my kids today. And I am glad they choose to play such games that teach them such brilliant and needed life lessons.
