On Sundays as we sit at the dinner table we always go around the table and ask each person what they learned at church.
Bailey spouted off her lesson from beginning to end about the Plan of Salvation, Kylie recited the word "accountability" and what it meant as well as a few examples. (I take credit for that since I'm her teacher:). When it was Gavin's turn he said he colored and I asked him what his teacher said to him he said that they talked about blessing the food.
When it was Isabelle's turn I asked her what Sister Hawkins told her today. She said that she talked about Heavenly Father and Jesus, she told me about a fight and a mean boy who wanted to do it the mean way, then she told me about the good boy who wanted to do it like Heavenly Father, and Heavenly Father chose the good boy.
I sat there in total shock listening to my little three year old baby tell me about the Great War in Heaven, when the third of the host of heaven followed Satan. She sat there and told me in the simplest of perspectives. As a three year old understands it.
As I sat there thinking about what she said, I was reminded of how simple the Lords plan is for us. How even a small child can understand, and even though she cant be held "accountable" for her actions, she still knows and recognizes good from bad, right from wrong. That little sweet spirit, who just left the Lords presence three short years ago, understands. She didn't ask what heaven was, or who the Lord is. She isn't skeptical, or doubtful. She knows. What a sweet testimony.
Of all the things that I learned in church today, nothing could have made my testimony grow or my heart swell quite as much at that sweet, simple conversation with my daughter.
