Caleb

It was Caleb's turn to do our FHE lesson this week. Since we are trying to learn an article of faith each month, I decided one lesson each month needs to be dedicated to that article of faith. I had Caleb come down to my room so we could work on his lesson. He got frustrated because the 4th article of faith is something he knows nothing about. Usually the person doing the lesson gets to choose the topic, so they can choose something they know about. He said, "I'm the littlest one in the family... how can I teach everyone else something!" I told him that's why we teach, to learn ourselves. He replied, "How can you learn things yourself? When you teach, you're supposed to teach other people." What a young age to learn such a valuable lesson. How many of us feel inadequate in church callings or just in our every day lives? We are called to teach as mothers, as primary teachers, Sunday school teachers etc. We often feel that we are supposed to be teachers to those who know much more than we do. We sometimes are that "littlest one" and are overwhelmed. Caleb is such a sweet boy, and I'm thankful that we can teach lessons and principles to our children when they are young. We get to build the foundation of their precious testimonies. Our children are the future leaders of this land and the church. What a great responsibility!!! I am very grateful that the Lord has trusted us with his wonderful special children.
