FHE Idea

It was a very cold cold day but my boys wanted to go to the school and play so bad for FHE game, so we were very brave and lasted a whole 30 minutes! It really didn't seem to bother them but Mom was being a wimp!! For the lesson we read the story "Tithing Shoes" by Patricia and Dewayne Warnock. It has really cute pictures if you read it from the actual Friend Magazine. Elijah was so cute the whole time he had shocked looks on his face like he couldn't believe the things that were happening in the story- very cute! So i asked the boys "Should the Mom pay their tithing or buy the boy shoes"? Of course the obvious answer is to pay tithing so of course they said that, then I said "But this little boy will have no other shoes at all so he will never ever get to leave the house". You could see Elijah thinking well maybe the shoes then but Asher was so good and said "Mom if they pay their tithing then Heavenly Father will help it be okay", then he proceeded to tell me a story about a time Josh and I actually followed this example and we indeed were taken care of. I was shocked he remembered the story I had told him, I need to give him more credit :) I was very proud of his answer, what a cute guy!
