the good samaritan

monday night we went to my parent’s house for family home evening. angela and her kids are visiting and my mom prepared a lesson on the good samaritan. lexi opted to be the good samaritan complete with bandages to bind up the wounds of “the man” (head and leg wounds in this case) portrayed by josh. myles got his wish to be a “bad guy” and played the levite with some attitude, while dave showed his stellar acting skills as the snooty priest.

i was so touched by the kids’ understanding of the parable and the principles of love, service and kindness it teaches. they shared sweet testimonies of loving your neighbor, (everyone you meet) regardless of who they are. i sure love these kids!

myles couldn't quite make it through family scripture study
