I have always thought faith and food mix well. One of the central ordinances of my faith is a covenantal meal called the sacrament. Today's Sunday School lesson brilliantly supported my point and gave my children obedience training. . .
The family giving the lesson passed out very yummy coconut cookies to all the children in Sunday School but told them not to eat it just yet. Then they gave a lesson on having a good attitude when following Heavenly Father's commandments. The whole time the children are salivating and yearning for their cookies. After the lesson the father of the family comes up and asks if the children want to eat their cookies and they all raise their hands. Then he asks if they really want to eat their cookies and they all stand up. Then he has them all take one bite and chew it slowly. He explains we should all hunger and thirst after righteousness with the same eagerness and anticipation we did for the cookies. If we do, as the Savior promised, we will be filled.
I thought it was a great object lesson and my children loved it.
