I Would Lay Down My Life for the Sheep

Katherine drew a picture of Jesus in a casket. The right thought bubble contains sheep. The second thought bubble says, "I love them."

During a presentation with a kindergarten class of the Pearl of Great Price I asked, "Why would Jesus be telling us this story?" Violet answered, "I think I know. Jesus was telling us that we're going to get to give everything for the Pearl of Heaven. " I asked her what the pearl of heaven was. She answered, "God's love." I really enjoyed her choice of words: We're going to GET TO GIVE EVERYTHING--like it will be a privilege, and not a chore. It was illuminating.
