A Reason for the Season

There are those "ah-ha" moments that we all have had in our life. The best ones are when you see your kids have that light click on, especially when they are of a spiritual nature. We were doing family home evening last night and I was telling Logan the story of our Saviors birth. (Porter had a rough evening and went to bed early) I started to tell him of the wise men and suddenly the light clicked on and he got excited and said, "those are the guys we saw up in Salt Lake City, at the temple". The pieces suddenly fell in place and he remembered the little baby being held by His mommy and daddy and started to understand more about who that baby was. It's these little moments that I treasure the most, when I realize my efforts are not all in vain and my children will get it someday if not today.

There is a tradition in the Bishop family of going to Temple Square and seeing the lights. We usually go later closer to Christmas, but now with everyone married and other families to see, we went the day after thanksgiving. This is one of our families favorite things to do, the lights are always beautiful and the atmosphere is always great. Whether it's snowing, raining, or no moisture in sight, it's still a specail thing to do with our family.
