In the Air

Jack was asked to give a talk on The Holy Ghost during Primary on Sunday.  We had a conversation about The Holy Ghost and His role in our lives, and between the things Ben and I wanted to help Jack understand and the things that he already knew, I put together this talk for Jack to deliver (which he did very well):

The First Article of Faith says, “We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.”

The Holy Ghost speaks to us in a still, small voice.  He helps us to know the truth, He warns us about danger, and He can give us comfort.

One day a few weeks ago I was riding my bike alone near my house.  I fell off my bike and got hurt.  I was a little scared, but I knew everything was going to be okay.  Soon, my sister came and found me.  The Holy Ghost was giving me comfort at a time when I was feeling scared.

In Doctrine and Covenants section 88 verse 3, Jesus said, “I now send upon you another Comforter, even upon you my friends, that it may abide in your hearts, even the Holy Spirit of promise.”

I know that the Holy Ghost is a blessing for us because He helps us to have comfort in our lives.

I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Tonight when we were putting the kids to bed, someone mentioned The Holy Ghost and Ben asked Jack what he knows about The Holy Ghost and Jack immediately responded that He speaks to us in a still, small voice.

Eliza then added that The Holy Ghost is in the air.  Therefore, "there's a lot of the Holy Ghost."

Yes, Eliza.  I think that's an accurate statement.
