Become as a Little Child

Thoughts on 100 Days of quarantine.

Amazing to think that today marks 100 days of lockdown. Today was also a special virtual birthday celebration for our grandson Chris, sponsored by the Hogle zoo. What a fun idea to bring the zoo to your home, rather than you having to go to the zoo, especially when the guests live so far away.

The invitees were from Nebraska, Denver, Idaho, Utah, Miami and Buenos Aires. My daughter Mandy did a fantastic job as a host. She loves what she does teaching kids for sure. Elder Uchtdorf explained, " What we love determines what we seek, what we seek determines what we think and do, what we think and do determines what we become." 

I love seeing the grandkids today. What a special treat that was for us. I felt like a child again. Wayne W. Dye once said, "To be more childlike, you don't have to give up being an adult... recapture that childlike essence of your being full of awe and wonder at this magnificent universe..."

What I love about children is that they are not worried about all the things going around the world. Their life is so care free as it should be. We can all learn from them. They are such smart kids and so talented! I can't wait to be able to hug them again.

Children are constantly teaching us how to become better people. I was reminded once again the words by King Benjamin when he said, "For a natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever... unless ye yield to the enticings of the spirit, and puts off the natural man and becomes a saint thru the atonement of Christ... and becomes as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seems fit" And "Except ye become as a little child, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same greatest in the kingdom of heaven. " Jesus of Nazareth.
