At church, it is children’s sacrament meeting presentation season. Basically, this means that one Sunday a year, our sacrament meeting talks and music are supplied by children. Last Sunday, I attended two meetings where children sang and gave talks to the adults in their congregations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are some quotes that I felt were especially precious and from the heart. (This post will be updated as I gather more during my visits during the next month.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Daniel [from the Old Testament] teaches me to surround myself with friends who are brave and obedient.” -boy, about age 7<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking of Joseph who was sold into Egypt, “As you have faith and turn to God, you and others [around you] will be blessed.” -girl, age 11<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From a girl whose parents divorced recently, “All bad things can become a victory through the Lord.” -girl, age 10<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After quoting John 3:16, a girl said, “There have been some times in my life when I have worried about not being enough like Christ, and making too many mistakes, but then I remember that mistakes are how we learn, and how we improve in our lives.” -girl, age 11<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With tears, a girl expressed, “When my great-grandma passed away this summer I was having a hard time. Every day before I went to bed I prayed I wouldn’t be sad. Every day I did that, I felt a little better.” -girl, around age 9<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“When I show my gratitude in prayer my heart is filled with more gratitude and I feel those blessings more.” -boy, age 10 or 11.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
