We've had our Christmas tree up for a while now. Something cute happened when we were decorating it. I had Braxton digging through the old family ornaments sorting out ones that he could handle and put down low in Bryson's reach. The others were in my pile since I'd need to keep glass and heirlooms up high.
It had been going well but I left the room and came back to Braxton crying softly. He was gently holding an ornament and staring down at it while he whimpered. I recognized it as the brass Mesa temple decoration. I hoped he hadn't but decided to ask if he had broken it. His response to me, "No mom I am doing a happy cry."
He amazes me. He knows that Lee and I were married there and knows how important that sealing is to our family. He loves going into the visitors' center to see all the displays. It's not enough to drive or walk past it. He sees that it is beautiful and wants to go in!
He had a chance to be a missionary and friend to a couple of my sister's friends. They came with us to see the temple lights and here he was leading all of us adults around. At the end of the night they seemed like they only wanted to walk around the outside. Not going to happen with him. He said to me, "We need to remember Jesus." He conviced all but a wiggly Bryson and the mom that had to chase him to view the Christus presentation. Pretty proud of that lil' boy! He's a friend to Jesus and wants others to know about Him too. I know he helps my testimony. I am so blessed by the children in my home.
