Husbands and Wives

 My 6 year old grandson made an amazing observation a few weeks ago. He kept saying he didn't know who he would marry wnen he got older.Of course.... ther were a few chuckles...at least at first. Then...when asked why he was so concerned about this...he said you don't really know what people are like. They may say they are nice..but they might not be. Apretty keen observation. Then, he followed tha up with this thought...he said he might have to spy on them when they didn't know he was watching...so he could see how they really treat others!   WIth that...he showed me he had a better understanding than most grown ups...of just how important itis when chosing a mate.

This sermon was given at the Bend, Oregon 2012 Feast site.
