On Sunday, during our sunday school lesson given by charlie, we talked about "children", that is, how we need to be more like them because they are humble, eager to learn, always quick to forgive, loving and the list goes on. He ended the lesson with saying that we should treat kids now how we are going to treat our future kids. And interestingly enough, secretly i've been doing this with colins kids. I know its weird but ya, everytime, i'm impatient to answer one of their endless questions or when i have to correct them or play with them, i always tell myself; ok aggz just pretend these are your kids lol i know weird weird, but it always helps me because i can't wait to have my own lol and because i swear these kids really test my patience lol but i still looove them as if they are my own! :)
Anyways, today i missed FHE with my ward because john wanted to go and used "his calling" as an excuse to go so i can babysit...so tricky this fella lol anywayz, because Charlotte had to work and because i was out most of the weekend i decided its only fair that i do babysit. So i fed the kids their dinner, gave them dessert, you know the usual and then told them to go watch tv upstairs while i cleaned the kitchen. While cleaning up i was inspired or should i say prompted by the spirit to just have fhe with the kids. Thinking it was silly i brushed it off then jus kept doing my thing...then the thought came again, so i was like you know what i'm going do it! lol
BEST IDEA EEEVER!!!!
So i turned off the tv in their room, made them sit on the bed and started talking to them about primary. At first they was like wat are doing...oh aunty aggie lol but then i asked each of them their favorite primary song and they were all eager to share lol i was amazed and at the same time grateful that i followed the spirit. We sang most of their favorite songs; and even though they didnt know the words i could tell they wanted to sing their hearts out cause they were all still trying to sing :) and in between the songs i talked to them, just small kind made up my lesson, talking about being an example (the older ones mostly) to the younger ones, and explaining what being an example means. Then i talked about loving one another, i tried to tell them that jesus loved them and wouldnt want them to fight with each other...they listened but u know they're kids and they will always be fighting but i know in the long run they will remember these lessons. I flippin love them and i too want the best for them just like the savior wants the best for them. Anyways, whats funny was me ending the fhe, i was like ok 2 more songs and we're done...and they were like nooo 4 more...i was like really? lol but i could tell they enjoyed it as much as i did :)
anyways, i plan to do this with them every other monday when its jus going be me with them...and hopefully this will help them in the long run...i'm sooo glad that i listened to the spirit and did this for it has increased my testimony on FHE, for i know that some of the right decisions i've made in this life was because of FHE and i treasure it dearly and i hope it will be beneficial for them as it was for me :)...i'm just excited and can't wait to have my own family and carry on this tradition with them too. :)
