Teaching About Jesus...

Last night, before the kids finally went to bed, Brad and I got a lesson about Jesus from two 2 year olds. After we went through our nightly routine, books, prayers,wrestling, Tate decided to use Emmy's table as a pulpit and teach us about Jesus.
He was very serious as he told us to sit down and he was going to teach us about Jesus. He started out with Mary and Joseph and they had a "itty-bitty" baby named Jesus. Now, Jesus was born and he is the Son of God. "And Jesus loves us very much"....This is where a sheppard came in the story, then Tate said some things we could not understand and then he said, "And then there was Baby Lyla, but there was just one baby Lyla, you see, OK?"
So, while we are not sure of where exactly the story went from Mary to baby Lyla, it was sweet to hear our son teaching us about Jesus.
While he was busy with his sermon, Emmy decided she was the music director of this church and broke into "Jesus Loves the Little Children" and "Jesus Loves Me."
Brad and I just sat there in the floor listening to their little minds try to explain what they have learned at home, church and school. The beginning of the service.

Brining the message about Jesus to his audience

Still going with his story...
Here is Emmy and her musical performance
What a great service, Sissy!!!

It gives Banty great "joy" to see our little ones ears are listening as "we" tell them about Jesus! We might have a preacher in the family! A music teacher too!

Pastor Tate & Choir Leader Emmy...you could have a good thing going...
Those pictures are too cute. I know as a parent it must make you feel so proud to know that your kiddos are not only listening, but they are retaining what they are taught! What a sweet memory!
Love, Sharyn
