This is an image found in Book Of Mormon Studies. A book my grandma Woolley sent to our family last year for a Christmas gift. I try hard to read a story out of it once a day to the girls, usually during lunch. Today we read the story about Abinadi and King Noah. It was a violent image for a young child to see Abinadi burning but an important story to learn. I thought after the story we were done so I left the table. My precious little Jocelyn stuck around to peek through the book some more. Later I hear her calling me and showing me this picture and other pictures of Jesus. She wanted to hear the stories about Jesus.
Jocelyn pointed to this picture shown above and she said, "Mommy those bad guys are going to live with Satan." I told her I didn't know if they would, only God and Jesus knew that. Then I remembered what Jesus said when he was on the cross. "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do." Those words seemed to open my heart and I felt so touched by the Spirit. It was a beautiful moment in my life to be able to tell her what Jesus said and to remember and feel once again how much He really loves us. I know He lives and He loves all of us more than imaginable. What an amazing feeling that is and also a gift and blessing I have to share with my dearest children.
Thank you Jocelyn for your desire to learn about our Savior, Jesus Christ. I love you!
Merry Christmas to all who might be reading.
With LOVE,
Camille
