Happy Scrappy Basket

One year, our Primary teachers asked us to clean our old toys, wash our dolls’ hair, and repair their dresses so we could donate them to little boys and girls who had to spend Christmas day in the hospital. During the week as I was cleaning my old dolls, my mom asked me what I was doing. I explained what our Primary teachers had asked us to do, and she replied, “You should also give one of your nice toys to the children.” I responded, “Why would I do that?” She said, “Cris, it is really good to give something that we truly like, something that’s hard to give because we are fond of it, something that would be a sacrifice. That is what our Heavenly Father’s gift for us was. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ—not just any son. He sent His Beloved and perfect Son so we can go back to live with Him once again.” - Cristina B.
