Keep the commandments and prosper.
Lehi is an amazing father. He's old and he knows he doesn't have many days left in his life. He knows he has some children that are wayward and the love he outpours for them is touching. What a great example of loving and teaching although he can see his children not agreeing or accepting the teachings of the gospel.
He urges them over and over to "keep the commandments and prosper." The Lord will bless them. The Lord is happy to bless them. The Lord is waiting to bless them. If they just would keep the commandments.
The father's blessing he instills on each of his children has so much to teach us. The love of parents to their children. The love we have to our wayward children. The hope we can keep in our hearts that one day the faith of our children will be sufficient to be awarded the blessings of heaven.
I know today I am more grateful the calling I have to be a mother of beautiful children. I know I will try more to love them and teach them in the ways of the Lord.
