In Sunday School the kids' lesson was on "helping". Since that is something we discuss *often* in our home, I was pleasantly surprised when they woke up today wanting to be helpers. They cleaned their rooms more than expected as a daily chore. They kept asking me all day how they could help. Then around 4pm they asked if they could make dinner. (That typcially translates, "How can we make a mess and you fix it?")
So after some discussion, it was decided they could make dinner. The excitement was beyond belief. It quickly became a "fancy dinner". We all put on nice clothes. I let them use the "good" dishes. They did all the serving and we used very good manners at the table.
Our fancy dinner with Mom behind the camera.
On the menu was pb&j OR pb&m. That's peanut butter and marshmallows. We didn't have any marshmallow cream or small marshmallows so they used the big ones. Quite funny to watch them eat trying to use good manners.
And for dessert...chocolate pieces to dip in pb. (Mom had a graham cracker with whipped cream.)
Such a fun memory.
Oh, and the helpers disappeared after dinner to go play with Dad. Mom cleaned but there were no pots and pans to wash!
We are very thankful for a church that teaches God's Word in a way that applies it to our every day life.

Such fun family memories and life lesson! I agree with attending a church that teaches the truths of God's word in an applicable way! Love this idea!
