Dutch Tile Block



“As a boy I would gather with my family around our piano, now more than a hundred years old. That piano still is a precious heirloom because it was dear to my mother as a gift from her husband when they were poor. My parents had known poverty and so were frugal. The Christmas gifts we received were modest. But my mother had a rich soprano voice. She played her piano at Christmas as she led us in singing familiar carols and sacred hymns. Even as a young boy, I felt inexpressible joy in singing those songs. The music filled our small home with a spirit of peace. I could feel not only the love of my mother and father and two brothers, but of my Heavenly Father and the Savior Jesus Christ. I wanted to live so I could return to our heavenly home, where I knew Heavenly Father and the Savior would be waiting.” – President Henry B. Eyring
