After Alma gives Helaman the command to keep the plates he explains the importance of
what he has commanded. I am sure that helped Helaman want to live up to the command.
And it feels like an important lesson to me. As a mom, lots of times I just want
to give a command and have it obeyed. I get annoyed with questions about what I
have asked. I need to be more patient, and help the boys understand the significance
or reason behind what I am asking. It will help me maintain a moral authority, but
also help them understand and grow and have buy in to what we are trying to accomplish
in our lives. And I really just need to be more patient in general and not so easily
annoyed!
Alma 37:3-5
