Wow I am thankful for great primary teachers. Let me preface this by saying we do say family prayer most nights. We do try to do family scripture study once (I know) a week. We do try for family home evening each week, although they are mostly secular activites. (i.e. getting ice cream, playing a board game, having a wii championship, etc.) Rarely we have an actual "lesson" to go along with our family home evening. With easter fast approaching we hadn't even really talked about what that meant.
Chloe and I were in the car the other day, just she and I. Highly unusual. I was kind of in my own head, thinking about some things that needed to be done, etc. Chloe without prompting says,
"Mom. Do you know what is so great about Jesus Christ?"
Me: "No Chloe. Tell me.
Chloe: " He died for us. He died so that we can have eternal life and live again. That's why we celebrate Easter."
I was pleasantly surprised. She does listen in primary! And she has awesome primary teachers who teach her all this stuff I forget to teach on a daily basis.
Then she says, "Mom quick lets think of 5 things Jesus Christ does for us."
I listed 5 simple things.
Then she says, "Ok Mom. Now tell me 5 things you do for Jesus Christ. Go."
What an awesome girl. Sometimes I worry that she gets so wrapped up in being 14 that she isn't learning or doing the things that 5 year olds need to learn and do. At times like these I know that she is learning those things. Thank heavens for primary teachers!!!
