Object Lessons Zone
Getting children to understand spiritual truth is like threading a needle. In fact, it can be easier to get a camel through the eye of a needle...
I don't mean to string you along, or hem you in, but the point of this Zone is to thread together all of the object lessons we've knitted together on this site. So don't get all wound up! Just cut loose and tie these object lessons into the next yarn you teach. I know these puns are piercing, but like the man of the cloth said, "You reap what you sew!" Or sew they say!
