Arian is this cool 8-year old who is preparing to be baptized in my last area (Rock Springs, Wyoming).
We met with the whole family many times to help Arian prepare to be baptized and help the father prepare to be the one to baptize him.
I actually got to participate in being in the circle when the father was given the Aaronic Priesthood. An awesome experience I got to have right before I left the area.
Anyhoo, Arian, in a prayer once, said something that I thought was kind of profound.
He's just an 8-year old, but what he said caugt my attention.
As he was praying he said, "Thank you for saving us every day."
Frequently when I think about the idea of being saved, I think of it more as a singular event. But, in reality, Jesus Christ saves us every day. Because we make mistakes every single day. And if even one of those days was not covered, we would not be able to return back to our Father in Heaven.
Jesus Christ really does save us every single day. And for that, we should be grateful. Just like Arian is.
