Caleb's Talk

Jesus wants Caleb for a sunbeam!! I can't say Caleb loves sunbeams, in fact most Sundays he sneaks with Mara to her class instead of going to his class! Caleb does enjoy going to Sunbeams when his mom is the sustitute teacher! And I just so happen to be his teacher when the parts for sharing time were assigned. When I asked for volunteers for a prayer, scripture and talk Caleb was the only kid who wanted to give the talk! I kept asking him "are you sure Caleb you will give the talk? Do you really want to do it?!" "Yes! I will!" he said! So the topic for his talk was: 'The earth was created for Heavenly Father's Children.'

I kept it simple for him, and really I didn't think he would do it. We practiced and practiced. We went to the church several times during the week to practice. The day of his talk arrived and at first he was a little hesitant to go into the primary room, but once he got in there he walked to the front of the room and sat down in the front row ready to give his talk. When it was his turn he stood up and walked to the microphone and in the sweetest most angelic little voice he said:
"The world is so lovely I am happy as can be
For all that the Lord has created for me.
The sunshine,the flowers, the stars up above.
The home where I live and the family I love."

He did it!  He held up a picture for each of the things he said, and he even had it memorized! Caleb really gave his first talk! It was the cutest thing I have ever heard! No one could believe he actually said it! The primary presidency were so impressed! They couldn't believe little Caleb could actually give such a great talk! And as proof of his talk here he is ladies and gentleman:
Caleb Lewis!
