The Savior taught us to be like little children and then we would be able to come unto him in every way. Last night was we acted out the Christmas story and our Wise Men (boys) were Jacob Selim, Andrew Selim, and David Leavitt. They did a great job at giving the first presents of the year to the baby Jesus. Well, tonight Cyndi told us the story of what Jacob (3.5 years) thought was really happening.
He thought that the gift he was getting for Christmas was the gift he was giving the baby Jesus and was willing to do it and in fact went and knelt before the Lord (baby doll in this case). He didn't think he was going to get another gift and was so very super excited when he found out that he was going to open one - he ran and got the wrapped empty box that had been his "gift" in the skit and then Cyndi realized what was happening and gave him his gift.
Isn't it interesting that the Lord asks for a broken heart and a contrite spirit? Little children truly do lead us in example and faith - I wish I could be that giving! I love you Jacob Boy, thanks for your great example!
