Sacred Gifts

"The SAVIOR will meet you there"

So just where did I meet Jesus today?
One of the members in my
Primary class was baptized today.
Dressed in white,
he stood by the side of his mother
and sang
"I Feel My Savior's Love"

His mother,
also an Artist,
painted a portrait for this special occasion.
A smaller copy was made into
an invitation to witness this event.

My Sister
arranged for family members
to view and be an active participant
in
"SACRED GIFTS"
http://sacredgifts.byu.edu//
at the Museum of Art
in Provo, Utah
on
Brigham Young University's  Campus.

Did the Savior meet me there?
I belive He did.
Upon entering,
I was given an iPad
with a unique app.
As I pointed the device toward a particular
work of art,
there appeared in my hands...
the background of the Painting
Inspirational Music to accompany the Artist's Renditition
Perspectives from others
Activities for Children
Highlights to Pointout objects of interests
and the GIFT the Artist left with
the Partakers

Each individual from the group moved at their own pace.
Because everyone had earphones on, 
there was no one talking.
It was silently REVERENT

There I sat before this painting
and pondered over my burdens.
 I listened to the glorious music
"Come Unto Me."
Here I was on the beginning steps of my journey
seeking out my Savior.
I turned my head to the RIGHT
"He did that for me?"
I glanced BEHIND me...
to the LEFT
and for one brief moment
I felt completely surrounded by JESUS
 And whoso receiveth you, there I will be also, for I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up.

Doctrine and Covenants :88

There was not near enough time to absorb
all that was available.
I purchased a set of cards
to share one at a time.

My hope is that everyone
might have the opportunity to bask in this
SACRED GIFT and exhibit.
