It has been said time and time again that children learn through play. They also mimic what they see around them and what they perceive to be improtant. So the other day when I watched a church service, complete with the Lord’s Supper unfold in our play room my heart was filled.

| “Mommy” and “Son” sitting in church |
I didn’t find it disrespectful that they used water and cereal as the sacriments, and I didn’t question that they allowed the baby to participate.

| Partaking of the “Lord’s Supper” |
I was just so pleased to see that church, the workings of the church, and worshiping their Savoir is an important part of my children’s lives.

| Leading in “Worship” |
They view worship important enough to include it in their play. And I couldn’t be happier!!
Shouldn’t we all be more like this? Including worship in EVERY aspect of our lives and not just when we walk through the doors of church would do us all a bit of good I do imagine. We, as mommas need to take time to STOP, BREATHE, and WORSHIP!! Even if just for a second to utter a prayer, sing a verse to song, or to tell our Heavenly Father that we love Him. Let’s include more worship in our days, and make our Father’s heart full as mine was the other day.
Love you dear sisters,
Amanda
I love it.
Wondering why the phone is on the pulpit though?? LOL Just teasing.
Reminds me a lot of three different sisters who used to pretend that well. But we were never that spiritual! Only played school and house! haha They are amazing kids! Love to all!
I seem to remember a few baptisms along the way!
The quickest way to the heart of God is to have child-like faith. When child-like faith grows up it becomes rock-solid ‘my God can do anything’ faith! We need a lot more of that in this world!
Oh, what a wonderful way to play. God is good and your children know this and are learning from the best role-models, their parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles.
Love you all.
