"Follow His Light"

Totally out of order, but needed to post this before I forgot-

One Sunday for Singing Time in Primary, I taught I song called "Follow His Light".  Each time the kids learned a line of the song, they got to turn on a battery-lit candle.  By the end, all of the candles had been lit. I had a picture on an easel with a blanket covering so the kids couldn't see behind.  Once the kids learned the song pretty well, I turned out the lights and revealed the picture of Jesus that was illuminated by the candles.  We then sang the song while looking at the picture.

Later that day, after church, Trey came up to me and said, "Mom, I cried today in primary." I asked, "Why and when?"  He said he cried because he was so happy when he was singing "Follow His Light" and looking at Jesus' picture.

What an amazing moment it was to explain to Trey he was feeling the Spirit.  I'm so grateful for those opportunities when I can see when the gospel is influencing my children's life.
