We count down the 12 days of Christmas with presents. Each present is some sort of yummy treat with a scripture on it. The scripture represents a gift that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ have given us. The kids take turns picking a present. We read the scripture and the kids guess what the gift is. We have a little discussion about each gift. So far we have talked about the creation, agency, prayer, opposition, charity, scriptures, revelation, prophets, the Holy Ghost, immortality, and exaltation. Tomorrow we will talk about Christ's atonement. I enjoy taking this time with my kids to remember all that we have been given. This list barely scratches the surface of the blessing I enjoy in my life. I am so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father, who knows me!
