Teaching Your Children!

Funny Story...As a parent you are always looking for moments to teach your children. During sacrament meeting Draedon leaned over to tell me that he was thirsty. I told him that the Deacons were getting ready to pass the water(we use water instead of wine in our church). He then said that that cup is too tiny:) I thought this was a great moment to teach him a little about our Saviors sacrifice for us and the symbolism of the bread and the water. While I was whispering in his ear how we need to be thinking of Jesus and show our gratitude for Him, he was nodding the whole time-obviously soaking in everything I was saying! Then he turned to me and said..."Mommy"... "Yes" I say... "someone needs to tell Jesus to get bigger cups!" So much for a teaching moment-I had to laugh out loud!:)

That's too cute! Don't you feel like sometimes those teaching moments are misunderstood by the student, but in such a funny way! Draedon's too cute!
