Most of the time, my answers come waay,before I need them, so a little pondering what I know and "Voila" there it is, but this is my sincere desire:
I know that as we teach children they get very important insights from reading the scriptures, and they might not read their scriptures outside of class, but I want to actually intrduce and study the stories in the scriptures and so I am torn between teaching stories or teaching the scriptures...they are scripture stories, but I want the story imbedded in their heart and mind, but I also want to study the scriptures and get that benefit of coming to recognize their father in Heaven. Please, my wish is to know what to do, all I think is read the scriptures and then translate, but I fear that moght take away from what the spirit is already teaching them. One day, for example, I asked the lids to tell me what they learned in order to leave the classroom. And the things they shared were not at all what I intended to teach, somethings totally surprised me like that children in Israel sometimes got to sleep on the roof. Huh? It was a lesson about Christmas.
I see how many truths in a lesson that one might find useful to have been mindful of, but if I lightly mention it....OH! It is about having faith and trusting that they will be taught wgat they need regardless if they understand the story I want to teach. Ok, ok. Got it.
