Heavenly Father's House

I took Alex to the church last night (Saturday) for a free babysitting activity the Young Women were doing. He had been wearing his pajamas for quiet time cause they were comfy and before we left I asked him if he wanted to change. He didn't, so we left.

We got to the church and were about to go in the primary room where the activity was taking place and he stopped dead in his tracks, shut the door, and said, "Nope. I don't want to go in."

M: "Why?"

A: "I don't want them to see my pajamas."

M: "Oh Alex. It is just a fun activity. No one will even notice."

A: "No. I don't want them to see them!"

M: "Why are you so worried about them seeing your pajamas?"

A: "Well. This is Heavenly Father's house and it is a special place. I shouldn't be wearing these. I should be wearing nice clothes."

M: "Oh. Well, Alex I am so happy that you understand how very special Heavenly Father's house is, but can I tell you a secret?"

A: "Sure."

M: "Heavenly Father likes to let his children use his house for acvities during the week too. Not just on Sunday. On Sunday, that is His day, so he wants us to dress our best and be extra reverent. But, during the week he loves for us to come here in other modest clothes to be with our friends. On these days we can wear what we want to as long as it is modest."

A: "You mean we can wear what we want to?! Are you sure?"

M: "I am sure."

A: "Okay. I'll go in . . ."
