Becoming as a child

So last Sunday at Cherish's Seminary graduation I took our rather noisy and restless two year old Corban out in the hall to see if I could get him to settle down.  I suppose after 3 hours of church and 45 minutes into another church meeting that requires sitting still for an extended period he had pretty much had it. 
I have always appreciated the beautiful artwork in our buildings - but never as much as when I have taken noisy kids into the hall to simmer down.  It is a great opportunity to see how the change comes over them when you hold them and they look at pictures of the Savior.  It is interesting to note that no matter how the artist renders Christ the child always recognizes Him.  Such was the case on Sunday with Corban.
As I walked by one of the paintings to go back to the chapel Corban said, "I need to say hi to Jesus!"  As I brought him over to the painting to "say hi to Jesus" I thought to myself that this is one of the ways that Christ wanted us to be like a child...always ready and willing to converse with Heaven at any opportunity.  Surely our Father in Heaven appreciates this sort of attitude.  I wondered if I am doing this?  Do I want to "say hi to Jesus" at every opportunity?  What are ways that I can do this?  It has given me some food for thought...
As we looked at the painting together I asked Corban if Jesus loved him.  He responded in the affirmative with one of his big cheesy grins and a giggle.  I hope we all know of the Savior's love for us and that the knowledge brings us the same obvious joy.  For surely He does love all of us...enough that He gave His life for us!
