3 Degrees of Glory's Breakfast

So we studied the Plan of Salvation this week for Family Home Evening with the boys and we studied the 3 degrees of glory and were trying to explain to the boys how you live here on earth is what decides where you'll be after this life! Well they looked a little glazed over and it wasn't really sinking in, they got heaven and hell concept, but it was a lil new? Soooo the next morning Dewayne and I decided to apply the choices with breakfast....so the first choice depicted shown above at the stool in front with dry toast and a cup of water for the telestrial glory (or 'hell' knowing what you could've had 'heaven' had you only been better) ....

then second choice was the lucky charms with milk in their favorite wally ware on their favorite lil tykes table for the terrestrial kingdom (symbolizing a worldly fun choice but still not the best of all three kindoms of afterlife)...

Finally there was a full spread of pancakes with their initials drawn in strawberry syrup, cheese scrambled eggs, with sugar sprinkled strawberries, and strawberry milk on a beautiful table; with flowers, and silverware and place settings. Symbolizing the Celestrial Kingdom "Heaven" the glory to live with God the father and his son Jesus Christ. Parker was at first as you can see from the previous pic was debating and really tempted by the cereal and fun setup of the lesser glory until he saw all that was at this option and his Daddy informed him and with this choice you can have all the other choices and the best of everything and quickly placed the cereal and toast options together on the table. We saw the light bulb switch on all at once he got it... Wow so I can have it all here, Daddy? Yep Parker exactly!
(He later reluctantly sat at the cereal b'fast and chowed down on his favorite b'fast Oh well can't say we didn't try my lil monster! LOL)

Dylan however really loved the whole experience and was great and practically glanced over the choices and ran to the table to sit down. He is such a special spirit and seems to really get it! We really had a good time and definitely enjoyed some celestrial breakfast! I am so thankful for the gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives, especially to be able to teach my kids how important this life is and how every choice you make here on earth makes an eternal decision... What table do you want to dine at???
