"MY" class

These are a few of "my" kids who attend Wednesday night children's class. For the last few months, we have been doing things a little differently. Instead of learning the bible stories, we have been reaching a little deeper. We have actually begun our own worship service. We have our own music, DVD's and topics that are specific to us. The simple change in direction has brought about amazing results. Where these children were ashamed to pray out loud and hold their hands up in praise, now they are active worshippers. We start out with music and drama, get into our topic, have discussion, and then move on to our prayer/worship time. They simply amaze me. I stand in awestruck wonder at them each week. All I have to say is "Its time for prayer and worship. Let's settle down and give God our attention." Some of them stand with hands uplifted, some lay with their faces buried in the carpet, some kneel at the table, some kneel in a corner. Regardless of "how" they do it, they are now communicating with God. They understand who God is, what prayer can do,and He deserves our utmost praise. I pray that these lessons follow them and they carry them in their hearts even when I am not there. Then, my purpose will be complete.
