Stories and Songs by Afterglow

Children provide us with a view into eternity with their appreciation of simple moments, joy of learning and curiosity of the world before them. Our Savior, Jesus Christ reminded us through scripture to become as little children in humility and love. We are often reminded by them that happiness is often found in the little things and that a sense of wonder can make everyday life feel extraordinary.
