Sometimes the best laid plans still flop.
We made Resurrection Rolls this weekend. It was beautiful in concept...
We talked about how Jesus, sinless and pure, had to die. We buried our marshmellow in its biscuit tomb.
We eagerly broke open our rolls to discover the intended empty tomb.
Instead we discovered a soppy, stringy, VERY PRESENT marshmellow.
NOTE TO SELF: Don't use stale, old marshmellows again.
Thankfully, a yummy object lesson gone wrong is just an opportunity to laugh and let your kids jump in with the truth...
Mess-ups and failures can be gifts too!
