PRESENTS FILL THE TEMPLE
A dear elderly lady was teaching the four and five year old Sunday School class at our church. During one of the lessons, they were learning about the building of the temple. She explained to the students that when the temple was finished, the presence of the Lord filled the temple. Instantly the eyes of each child got wide and full of excitement. She soon discovered, however, that the source of their excitement was not joy that God had come to dwell in the temple, but rather, delight at imagining that huge building filled with presents from God! Aren’t we often much like those children – more excited about our “presents” from God than being in the presence of God. From Ann Menschel, Carthage, IL
