I am subbing for a teacher at church for 3 weeks so Chapel Chat will be my musings on the activities therewithfor. Yes, I just made that word up. And it was fun.
I have always dearly loved to teach and today was no exception. I am truly in love with children.
Their little personalities are so....cool.
We have the vast array of them in this class.
The pleaser.
The rebel.
The first born.
The shy one.
The girly girl.
Just like the breakfast club but minus a few years.
We did our bible lesson. Matthew 18:4 which surprise, surprise was our bible lesson in family bible time a few days ago too. God is so funny that way.
I brought little treats and we did our little craft and I promised them a prize if they could recite the memory verse to me next week by rote.
So fun. So easy to be loved by kids. Just be yourself. With a little goof thrown in.
They write down their prayer requests and turn them in. One little girl took the cake though with her's. It read:
"I wish you would remember my name is not Madison."
Ha ha! I think I shall not soon forget her name now!
These little kids are so full of life and promise and troubles already. They cannot hide their joy, their pain or their trouble.
They are just open little lives. I remember that they are entrusted to me by their families for this time and I am grateful.
It was fun to see these little beginning lives up close and personal.
And it makes our class memory verse all the more true.
Matthew 18:4 Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Oh, that is really funny about the name, very funny indeed.
I love that verse... it applies in so many ways, trust like a child, faith of a child, etc...
Kids are fun.
