Elder Andersen asks, "Have we told them of the love Jesus has for children, how He held them in His arms, prayed for them, and wept? Do our children know that Jesus stands ready "with open arms to receive them"?
Start with opening prayer.

Lastly show the following picture of a Hen and Chicks
Read D&C 29:1-2 "Listen to the voice of Jesus Christ, your Redeemer, the Great I Am, whose arm of mercy hath atoned for your sins; Who will gather his people even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, even as many as will hearken to my voice and humble themselves before me, and call upon me in mighty prayer."
Just as chicks are the babies of hens, so are we the children of Heavenly Father. Heavenly Father cherishes His children and has sent Jesus to gather us with OPEN ARMS as a hen would gather her chicks with big open wings. They love us VERY MUCH!!
