Seeing Christ through a child’s eyes



 Last night I took the kids to a Christmas lighting celebration at our town park. There was cocoa and cookings, caroling and Christmas lights. And then the crowd of people started to gather and shout, here comes Santa Claus...so we rushed to see him through the crowds, little Abigail was holding my hand and was so happily surprised to see Santa. She got bright eyed and said I think he’s the real Santa! It was so sweet to experience that through her eyes, it made the cold and blustery weather melt away for a moment.

Touch the temple

 



When our kids were really little I heard someone say “If you let your children touch the temple, the temple will touch them” Whenever we’re a temple we try to let the kids touch it. The youth have been given powerful promises of protection as they participate in the work of family history and temple work.
