Its no secret that I LOVE CHURCH. I LOVE IT MORE WHEN EVERYONE in my family is SICK- and I can relish in the fact that Bryan is home overwhelmed and up to his ears in babies- and I can enjoy the Meeting in PEACE! ONLY KIDDING! Unfortunatley for me, everyone was on the up and up at my house so we all went and were even ON TIME. What a miracle. Isaac however is in a complete COMA on Sunday and is like I DON'T WANT TO GO TO CHURCH. Fine, fine with me, the J dubs came by on Saturday- you should just hang out with them, forget your birthday, forget Christmas- NOW HOW DO YOU LIKE CHURCH, HUH ISAAC?
So finally when the two younger boys were crying and Isaac was pouting in the coner telling me he wanted to SKIP CHURCH for the umTEENTH time in a row- I finally told him a little story. I said Isaac- you know what? I want you to think about this. I want you to think if you were having a birthday party and you invited all your friends to the park, and you had decorations, and a yummy birthday cake and you were all excited about your birthday party- and no one came to your party. How would that make you feel? He said, well, it would make me really sad- I said exactly, it would make you feel like everyone FORGOT ABOUT YOU- ON YOUR SPECIAL DAY? Yes, he said- well that is how our HEavenly Father and Jesus feel when we don't go to church. Church is where we show heavenly Father and Jesus that we love them and we REMEMBER them and they are still SPecial to US.
He then got on his socks and shoes- and we all went to church. With Half a Hair cut:)
