Anyway...when I was cleaning out the pocket of Thomas' church shirt...I found these little magnets. Now having used them before, I knew they were from the church library. Great. My son steals from church!!
When he got home from preschool I confronted him about it. Here's how the conversation went...
Me: "Thomas, I found these in your pocket. Where did they come from?"
Thomas: "I got them at church."
M: "Thomas! who do these belong to?!"
T: "Heavenly Father."
M: "Why did you take them?"
T: "I liked them and I asked Heavenly Father, but he didn't say anything."
(how do you argue with that?!?!)
M: "Well, Heavenly Father wants them left at church so that everyone can use them. Do you think we should take them back?"
T: "Yes, but only if there is no one else there."
So...I guess I have to teach a lesson on Stealing for Family Home Evening, or should it be on Prayer, or on Repentance?!
I love my son and am greatful that he makes me laugh (even though stealing magnets from church isn't funny...but at least he asked...right?!?!)
