Strength

In 3 Nephi 17, Jesus asked the people to bring their sick and afflicted to Him and He healed them all, then Jesus commanded that their little children should be brought to Him until all had been brought unto Him.  He surrounded Himself by these little children and they all knelt down and Jesus “groaned within Himself” for the wickedness of the House of Israel.  He continued His prayer unto the Father and spoke things which were great and marvelous.  He was strengthened by the children.  He was filled with Joy and wept.  He then took their little children one by one and blessed them. 

In Stake Conference, President Southworth taught us that as we surround ourselves with these little children, we can draw strength from their amazing faith and pureness.  As I listened to your wonderful Primary Programs, I thought about how much we need these little ones and how much they need us and together we are strong!  As we celebrate this Christmas Season and are surrounded by our families and friends, may each of us ponder the great miracle of the Baby Jesus and remember the beauty and love of these little ones and draw strength from our association with them!

Merry Christmas
