Last night for Family Home Evening, we set up our little Christmas tree. For the lesson, we talked about the different parts of the tree and the decorations and what they symbolize. We did this in the hopes that when the kids look at the tree, instead of thinking of presents, they would think about Christ, His birth, life and death.
One of the things we talked about was the kind of tree we use. We talked about how it's an evergreen tree (ours is actually a 3 foot, fiber optic, evergreen tree). An evergreen tree is always green and alive and symbolizes how we can live forever in heaven with Heavenly Father and Jesus.
This morning, as we were eating breakfast, I could tell Eli was thinking hard about what we talked about the night before and trying to work something out in his mind. We were talking about the tree and its greenness and all. And he turned to me and said in his cute, little Eli voice, "The Hulk is evergreen."
Eli was right about one thing. The Hulk is always green, but I'm not sure I want to live with him for eternity.
