May Activity

Teaching children Faith in God......

On May 18th, 2010, the Greater San Antonio Mothers met at the home of State President, Marge Barton. They discussed the topic, " Teaching our children Faith in God" using the concept that God created this beautiful world for us to enjoy. "For flowers that bloom about our feet, Father we thank Thee.... (Ralph Waldo Emerson)" During the discussion, it was brought forth that tiny three year olds can feel the spirit of Reverence for God. When asked," Who gave us these beautiful flowers and cute animals?" Super excited Levi (3yrs old) yelled "God!"

Karen Buckner found that playing soft calming music during dinner preperation, helped her keep her patience in tact and a calming influence for that hectic time of day when the children are demanding attention and Dad returns home from work.

Don't miss our next gathering in June. We will enjoy a Tea Party and Vintage Fashion Show by mothers, daughters, grandmothers, and friends.
