By Jane McBride Choate(Based on a true story)
After the sacrament was over, Laney opened her book about Jesus. She found the picture of Jesus with the little
children. It made her feel peaceful and happy inside.
Laney was trying very hard to be reverent in church. But she was tired, and her legs felt wiggly.
Story continues on page 39.
After sacrament meeting was over, Laney asked Mommy, “Why is
it easier to be reverent when I look at my book about Jesus?”
Laney smiled. “Do you think Jesus knows that I love Him too?” she asked.
“I think it’s because it reminds you how much Jesus loves you,” Mommy said.
Mommy gave Laney a hug. “Yes, I’m sure He does.” ◆
