You are so welcome!

You know, for those who wonder, or question whether the LDS faith is Christian, let me recite the words of a song we teach our Primay age (4-12) kids. I teach the 10 year olds at church. This song has a wonderful tune...it touches the heart, and I find myself humming and singing it to myself during the day. The kids all learn it, and memorize it:

I’m Trying to be like Jesus


-
“I’m trying to be like Jesus,
I’m following in His way.
I’m trying to live as He did,
In all that I do and say.

“Sometime I am tempted to make the wrong choice,
The the Spirit whispers in a still, small voice, saying,

“Love one another as Jesus loved you,
Try to show kindness in all that you do.
Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,
For these are the things Jesus taught.”

Children who grow up learning and seeing this in their lives, internalize it, themselves and usually come to Christ, accepting His atonement and redemption in their lives, and try and live like Him. That benefits all of us...our entire society.

Truth be told, this happening in Christian denominations throughout the country was the vision of our founders, because such people will govern themselves without the need of a burdensome, over-reaching government. It is at the heart of America and why it is free and prosperous.

I pray we preserve it for our children and grnadchildren...and we can start doing that this November in a big way.
