you are my sunbeam

My piglet is a sunbeam. (In our church, children age 3-4 attend the sunbeam class on Sundays) 8 weeks and going strong. He was assigned to give a talk in Primary a few weeks ago and seemed quite happy about it, though I'm not entirely sure he knew what was involved. His assigned topic: Jesus Christ is my Savior and Redeemer. Rather a broad topic for a three year old, but if anyone was capable, it would be my Piglet. John 3:16 seemed like a good place to start, and we worked on the message all week. When his big day arrived, my little guy needed only a few prompts from start to finish and, I've got to say, stood in front of those kids like he owned that podium. It went something like this (italics indicate his words from memory):

Heavenly Father loves us (he held a paper heart for the children to see)
He wants us to live with him someday.
He sent His son Jesus Christ to show us the way.
Jesus taught us to be kind and to obey.
Jesus loves us; He suppered and died for us.
He is our Savior.
If we follow Jesus we can live with Him and Heavenly Father again someday.
I know Jesus love me. I will try to be like him.

I was utterly bursting with pride and love for my sweet, dauntless boy.
