Train up a child....

Oh my stars, my kids were soooo amazing yesterday! :D We had "Open House Sunday" with a raffle and a potluck and the kids sang... and everything! They were so good! They sang "Sermon in Shoes" (of course, Blaine insists that the song should be "Sermon in Socks"...), "Family of God," "The Windows of Heaven," and "The Bible Stands." I was so proud of them! :)

The raffle was the biggest item on yesterday's agenda.. well, for the kids anyway. :) Scott had won 29 points and for every point they earn another ticket, so he was waaaayyy excited! He didn't win... but he had a great attitude about it so we ended up giving him his own prize. lol! :D

So my favorite story for yesterday begins when I started story time in my class. I've been teaching them about Jesus and His disciples and then last week we learned about Heaven! They were awestruck at all the amazing things that are in Heaven! :) It's also a great place to begin talking about getting saved, and how to get to Heaven and everything. So yesterday I began by finding out what they remembered about the previous week...

"Who can tell me what we learned about last Sunday in class?"

"HEAVEN!!!!" (I loved how excited they were!) :)

"And who can tell me what's in Heaven??"

and from the mouth of two or three kids...
"CHOCOLATE!!!"

LOL! I promise you I didn't even tell them that!! :D They just know that when Teacher says Heaven is wonderful.... "wonderful" means there's chocolate there too! lol! :D

Have a Happy Day everyone! :)

I used to teach 2 and 3 year old Sunday School--the time with those children was priceless! :)

Kids are so great to work with, and you know what? They usually tell the truth--there must be chocolate in Heaven! The kind that will not cause us to gain weight! :-) Sorry I haven't been in contact lately! Hope you've had a great week!
