FHE

I'm sure the day will come when FHE is a hard thing to do, but right now we are enjoying our days of FHE so much, because Olivia actually enjoys doing it.

Tonight the FHE lesson was on the creation. We talked about how heavenly father created the world in which we live and how he sent Adam and Eve down to be the first people who would take care of the earth. We looked at pictures and Liv talked about all of the animals in the picture and that "Jesus made them all". We sang "I am a child of God" and "Popcorn popping on the apricot tree", then Liv gave the closing prayer, which she happily volunteered to do. And this is how her prayer went:

"Dear Father, were grateful for da erf, and da animals, and da cinnamon rolls, and da juice, I can't drink it right now, but I will, in the name of Jesus Christ Amen".

When she said "amen". Jaron and I just smiled at each other. It was a great prayer. She recognized two very important things, which we were amazed that she so easily picked up on from my five minute lesson, and they are that,

1:heavenly father created the earth and all living things which dwell on it,

and

2: that, that same person who created the earth and all the things that live on it, was the very same being that she was talking to at that moment.

What a neat thing for a three year old to know.

Happy Monday Night.

Yes, what a great thing for a 3 year old to know. What a wonderful thing to have a family home evening like that. Good job!
