So, tonight's family home evening lesson was about the importance of faith (why is it important, how do we grow it). We were in the middle of the lesson, getting ready to watch the story of St. Patrick (a man of great faith), and I asked the children how we can increase our faith.
Ideas that were thrown out there were pretty standard - reading scriptures, saying prayers, attending church, holding Family Home Evening. Then Adam piped up with "We can grow our faith by watching movies." "Yes," I replied, "we can increase our faith by watching movies about Jesus Christ." "Like the one with the mummy?" he asked. "Umm," I said, not sure whether he was talking about Scooby Doo vs. the Mummy or something else. "Y'know," he said "Like the one who gets on all these bandages and waits for Jesus." "Ohhhh, I said - do you mean Lazarus?"
Thankfully, he did.
Speaking of faith, please feel free to read the post below this one. I know it's lengthy but it's not often I expound on my own faith, and it felt really good to do so.
