He cracks me up!

So a funny Braxton experience happened because of Moroni 7:12-16. http://scriptures.lds.org/en/moro/7

12 Wherefore, all things which are good cometh of God; and that which is evil cometh of the devil; for the devil is an enemy unto God, and fighteth against him continually, and inviteth and enticeth to sin, and to do that which is evil continually.
13 But behold, that which is of God inviteth and enticeth to do good continually; wherefore, every thing which inviteth and enticeth to do good, and to love God, and to serve him, is inspired of God.
14 Wherefore, take heed, my beloved brethren, that ye do not judge that which is evil to be of God, or that which is good and of God to be of the devil.
15 For behold, my brethren, it is given unto you to judge, that ye may know good from evil; and the way to judge is as plain, that ye may know with a perfect knowledge, as the daylight is from the dark night.
16 For behold, the Spirit of Christ is given to every man, that he may know good from evil; wherefore, I show unto you the way to judge; for every thing which inviteth to do good, and to persuade to believe in Christ, is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ; wherefore ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of God.

We had mentioned at the dinner table that good things come from God. I reviewed the word blessing there and Braxton went on to name some that he knew. Later I chose that scripture to read as a family before bed. As we went along Lee and I discussed with Braxton about whose plan we should follow. He already knew the answer was Heavenly Father and Jesus'. Braxton decided from the conversation and many previous to this that Satan is yucky and not a friend.

Wanting to focus on Jesus, the topic turned to what makes Christ such a good friend. We all agreed it was because he spent his life helping, would be there everytime we need him, he teaches us how to be happy and prayed for us in the Garden (Braxton's favorite). He showed some real excitement at the mention of that and then said "Oh that is so good." I explained that Jesus knew his name and would call out for him when they could meet again. More smiles! Braxton immediately thought only one thing and lucky for us he said it out loud. "I would run to him!" I said "Me too!" As soon as that left my lips I saw Braxton processing. I nodded and Lee just waited. We both knew what was coming next.

"Mom we would have to start away from him. Then run, run, run! I would try to beat you there. A race!" So essentially my three year old was telling me that at the Second Coming the first one to Jesus wins! :)
