When my Mother Calls me, Quickly I'll Obey:

I just had to post about my sunday school lesson a few weeks back (I teach the 7-8 year olds).

The Lesson was on being Obedient. I have to give a quick shout-out for the Primary Lesson Manuals: They are very inspired and layout EVERY detail you may every need to teach children how to choose the right and come closer to Christ.

Anyway, I was feeling the need to help the kids understand the importance of Obedience more personally than what the book outlines.

So our object lesson was like this:

I introduced the lesson by saying I had made some chocolate swirl banana bread to share.

"I looked at the recipe once and I needed some flour, bananas, salt, chocolate etc..."

I Made one loaf with TONS of salt, I'm talking 5 TB or more and cut it into pieces for each child to get a bite...hehehe

They looked at me all funny but didn't say a word (I think they were honestly trying not to hurt my feelings).

So I prompted them with "I didn't think it would matter if I followed the recipe EXACTLY, I mean i looked at the book once...wasn't that enough?"

Long story short: I gave them their yummy mini loaves while I finished the lesson.

However, one of the older girls said to me: "This would be a great April Fools idea!"

Hmmm I wonder if my hard work each week even makes an impression :)
