Keeping it real... truth relevant for daily living...Teaching Sunday School, I have discovered listening is so important. Each Sunday morning, we arrange learning centers to allow our pre school students to explore and discover some aspect related to the day’s lesson. Listening to snippets of conversations, I hear a common thread this morning… friends… be my friend… she is not being nice… sit my me…. Friendships and relationships are important at every age. During center time, students make choices on how to spend their time. I am listening and talking to students.
When story time arrives, I pray they are at a point where the children may sit quietly for a few minutes. We are in a circle… lots of talking…. I begin, in my lap; I have my Bible open to Luke 19… Zacchaeus has no friends… no one likes him… he is a tax collector… the circle is strangely quiet… for a few minutes, God has quieted this little ones…the story today... the conversion of Zacchaeus... climbing the tree to see and to hear Jesus...
planting seeds of God's truth in little hearts...
