Christmas always brings a feeling of love. It is a wonderful thing when your children internalizes the importance of serving and loving others. It would be nice as parents to be able to take the credit for teaching our children to be that way......but sometimes, and I think most times, they just come programed that way. Let me explain....
Last night Brother Bell, a high councilor in our stake and assigned to our ward, called and said that he just wanted to share an experience with us. He said that on Sunday as he was in our Sacrament meeting on the stand, Jordan passed the Sacrament to him. He said that he had a pretty bad cut on his hand. When Sacrament Meeting was over, Jordan came up to him and without saying a word, gave him a band aid and pointed to Brother Bell's cut. Brother Bell expressed the love and compassion he felt as Jordan offered the band aid to him. He also said, "How many 12-13 year old boys would see that and take the initiative to go get a band aid and give it to someone who needed it."
That's our Jordan.....in fact, we are blessed with 7 children that are kind hearted.....we are so grateful.
