I have the best calling!! I have the opportunity to teach children the gospel of Jesus Christ through song.
At the end of SR singing time, I ended by admonishing the children to remember that the best gift that they can receive has been the gift of our Savior Jesus Christ and that they should remember that this Christmas season.
One boy said, "no it's not."
I could see that the wheels in his head were turning and he was trying to think of the best gift that he had received for Christmas.
I responded by saying, "Our loving Heavenly Father gave all of His children the greatest gift that we could ever receive and that was the gift of his Beloved Son.
The boy again said "no".
I then responded "He is our greatest gift, I PROMISE YOU THAT."
He looked at me, deep in thought. He was touched by the Spirit.
As I have thought of the experience I had today, I realized that those were not my words, they came without thought and consideration. The Spirit was speaking through me to touch not only the hearts of these children, but to once again testify to me that Christmas is a time to remember and celebrate the life of our Savior Jesus Christ. I know that we have access to the greatest gift if we will but receive it.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life." John 3:16
I hope you enjoy this video as much as I do.
Merry Christmas!
