Words to Cherish

While teaching your child basic gospel principles, you may realize that you instilled unnecessary fear of the afterlife when your child asks:

"If I pretend the lego guy is bad will I go to Spirit Prison?"

They may also ask really deep questions that, frankly, you may not have a ready answer for, such as:

"Who do Heavenly Father and Jesus believe in? Nobody?"

Or you have to wonder what they may learn from watching you and your husband when they state:

"When I am married, my wife is going to peel my pear."

(For the record, my husband doesn't eat peeled pears, and even if he did, he'd peel his own.)

But, in the end you know something went right when he tells you, in his own way, that he felt the Spirit...

"Today in Primary I had tears in my eyes when the teacher was talking. But nobody noticed because they were too busy focusing on their jobs."
