I Need It


Mark and I are blessed with the opportunity to sit with Mark's brother Ben and his family (Toni, Mason, and McKay) as well as Mark's mom (Mary) at church each week as they are in our ward. It is great to think that I am part of a family that takes up a whole big pew at church.
This morning Mason said something that really was so cute. He always says "I need" whatever he is wanting at that point in time. So, today in sacrament this is how it went.
The bread was getting past the pew in front of us.
Mason: "I need that bread."
Mark: "No, Mason. You don't need that."
Me: "Actually Mark he does need it as we all do."

Isn't it amazing how a child's excitment for "snack time" in sacrament really does have a deeper meaning? During Christmas time I always try to find deeper meaning in our Savior's ministry and this morning was what I was looking for. Jesus Christ was born in such a special way. But what he did for each of us is the true and ultimate gift. How thankful I am to know that Jesus and Heavenly Father love me so that I could have a way to be forgiven for all the stupid things I do. I hope we each can have a peaceful Christmas full of love, true peace and happiness.
