Behold Your Children

“And he spake unto the multitude, and said unto them: Behold your little ones” 3 Nephi 17:21–23
“Notice that [the Savior] didn’t say ‘glance at them’ or ‘casually observe them’ or ‘occasionally take a look in their general direction.’ He said to behold them. To me that means that we should embrace them with our eyes and with our hearts; we should see and appreciate them for who they really are: spirit children of our Heavenly Father, with divine attributes” -Elder M. Russell Ballard

For those who no longer get to behold their children here on earth my heart aches for them and inspires and encourages me to do better. My heart goes out to the Taylor family (from my old CA stake) who recently lost their sweet baby girl to liver disease. To see if you can help visit HERE and behold your children.

Very sweet! Such a sad situation for that family. One of the best parts about our Church is families are forever. I hope the Taylor's are comforted with that and all the prayers being sent their way.
