Today, I did a modified lesson from "The Most High God." It was on how God is holy and uses an example of "pure" water and muddy water. In front of the children I added the dirt to one glass of water to make it muddy. I talked about how God is pure and how there is no darkness in Him. How he doesn’t do any sin and He doesn’t do bad things. I offered the pure clean water to a child to drink (which he did). Then I added a few drops of the muddy water.

And I offered this to the child (which he wouldn’t take). We talked about how just a few drops of the muddy water made all the water dirty. Then I showed them how the more we sin the dirtier and darker the water is. As I poured a little muddy water into the pure water I said that was like telling just a little lie. Then I poured just a little more muddy water into that now impure water and said, when you disobey mommy and daddy and don’t do what they asked you to then it makes it more dirty… The last example I used was of being mean to another person.

When I was done, my "teacher" a child in my class who loves the Bible (in fact that’s what he really wants for Christmas and he just continually wants to know more and more about God and wants to talk about Him so much)…Anyway, this child went and got a cup of clean water and "re-taught" the lesson to the class. He came back to the circle with his cup of water and said, "So, it’s like…." And he went on to give the lesson again, with the clean and dirty water (he stirred the clean water with his finger which he told us was dirty to make dirty water). It’s neat, because the children are remembering and thinking about what is being taught and are testing it out or relating in other ways. The other day it was stormy and one child had said that the thunder was because God was mad. Another child said, "No, because God is good, He’s not mad." Today another child reminded us that there is no sin and no darkness in God.
