We had a nice family home evening tonight. We talked about the resurrection of Jesus Christ. At the end I bore my testimony. I was about to have Rachel say the closing prayer when Ben said "Wait, I have something to say."
"OK. " I was thinking he was about to ask whether we had a snack for afterward. I wasn't prepared for his sweet testimony. He said "I love everything about Jesus and I love Jesus because he lived again and made it so our family can always be together." It was so pure and simple. It was so beautiful. It came spontaneously from his heart.
Sunday, as Ben was declaring his eternal hatred for going to church, and going on and on about how Sundays are the worst day of his life, I wondered to myself how to convince a child that church is important. I don't know if there is anyway to do that, but I am glad to know that Ben loves Jesus Christ.
