Avery

Monday night we had a “they grow up so fast” moment.

Avery volunteered to teach the family night lesson, so we went to the Friend to find a story she could read.  She insisted that just telling a story was not enough.  She found a poem, and came up with a treasure hunt “activity” to find a picture of Jesus.

She started her lesson by sitting in the same spot I do, when I teach FHE, then she said, “I am going to start out with a poem.”  She read the poem, only needing help on the word discouragement.  She asked Dad if he knew what a gift of love was.  When he answered correctly, she told Dad and Chloe about the scavenger hunt.  To get a clue from her they had to give an example of a gift of love.  When they had found the picture, she sat back down, held up the picture of Jesus and explained that they had to find a picture of Jesus, because when we do nice things for others then we know that Jesus loves us.

Stephen wondered if she had a script written on the back of the picture, but no she came up with that all on her own.

We love you Avery Jane…even if you are getting to be an old lady!
