From the voice of babes...

This entry is going to be sweet and simple with the intent of making you smile. So yesterday I had to teach the 3 yr old class in church. Most of the time Phillip goes with me but I didn't have a lot of kids so I encouraged him to go to the service. Quite honestly I kind of enjoy teaching by myself so I can act like a kid without being judged. So we played, read books, colored, did a great demonstration of Jonah in a large fish, and then had snacks. At the end of the class I told the kids that we were going to play a music game. When the music was on you had to clean up as fast as possible. Each kids was designated an area to clean. If the music stopped you had to clean up super slow. Whoever cleaned their area first could join me on the rug to dance. So of we go with such enthusiastic hearts. It only took 3 quick rounds of fast clean up before I had a small gathering of bopping feet around me. Then a smart minded little boy comes tugging on my shirt.
"You know I don't think God likes it when we dance at church. You should have told us whoever cleaned up first could then pray. God would approve at that."
I being the much more wise adult was left speechless. I had to smile, giggle, and then get down on my knees to be eye level with this little genius.
"You know what? How about we all stop and pray that you finish cleaning your section and then we can dance in celebration?"
"Okay that works for me as long as God is happy."
I have no doubt that God got a huge chuckle out of that conversation. Also no matter how much praying we did "the little angel" never did clean up his section.
God bless to all of my faithful friends and followers...
Mark 10:14-16
When Jesus saw this, he was indignant.
He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them,
for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child
will never enter it."
And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.
