On December 3rd the First Presidency presented the Christmas Devotional. As many of the kids that could make it came over to watch it. We made cookies so we could sit, watch and listen. Of course with little people it is quite challenging thus the cookies, to help them sit for just a minute. It amazed my how they all would wander around during the different talks, during the songs they would stop and sing and then start to wandered again. Musis really does do something to catch the attention of children. But what was really great was when President Eyring spoke he talked of the heavenly messengers that announced the many wonderful events before and during the birth of the Savior. A video was then played and all at once the kids stopped what they were doing and came and sat down and watched every part of the video. When it was over they sat for a minute and then were back to wandering again until the prophet spoke, the older kids tried very hard to listen. The video was a forerunner of some that are being produced of the life of Christ. They will be wonderful tools to have.
I always love the Devotional from the First Presidency. It set the tone for the Season.
