Jake is our funny man. He keeps us on our toes and keeps us laughing. Then there is the other side of this funny man it is his spiritual side. The other night Jake was disappointed about his horse being to sore to ride and decided we would stay home and have family home evening. He was so excited to do it and he had an idea that was all his. He included his little sister in his preparations. While I was making dinner he wen through the gospel art kit and the church magazines to find the pictures he had in mind. Then he was insisting we were making bread. I agreed but didn't ask to many more questions. When dinner was over he got the piano bench with all of his visual aids together. He had each person grab a picture and say how each picture was important to us. He had a picture of the temple, the scriptures, family, The Prophet, church, and Jesus. We discussed each picture and how they were important and why we needed them. After we discussed the picture we put one ingredient in the mixer for bread. Here is where the funny man comes in. After the first picture he said mom we need this much flour. He was just going to pull a recipe for bread out of his head. Looking back I maybe should have let him do it. But, the mom in me stepped in and said lets use my recipe. When we were all done and the dough was mixing Jake said, now see how we have to have all of these things to to make it to the Celestial Kingdom just like we need all of the right ingredients to make delicious bread. And a Child shall teach them. Thanks Jake for the awesome Family Home Evening.
