Aren't kids in church just the best? :-)
This morning Mark and I taught the 1st through 4th graders, and boy are they ever cute! First off, aaaall the little kiddies are together to sing and do worship together. At the end of the singing the leader goes to pray. Automatically, four year old sweatered handsome gets on his knees and bows his face to the ground. :-) Man, don't you wish we were that quickly drawn to bow before our incredible God, our Creator? :-) Not only so cute, but so challenging.
Then, Mark and I go on to teach our kiddies about courage and standing up for what's right. We're going through several different Bible stories where people did the hard thing and stood up for what's right. In the first two stories God did incredible things and saved the people when they did was right. In the third story, Mark starts off and says, "Now this one's kind of a sad one..." He goes on to tell how Stephen in Acts was preaching about Jesus and the leaders accused him of saying things he didn't actually say. When he stood up for what was right, he actually died. The awesome part about it is that the word about Jesus spread to Asia, Europe and Africa because of Stephen's death. Automatically adorable, blond haired, toothless smile starts clapping and says, "YAY!! That's a happy story!! People heard about Jesus!" Oh, that we would have that mindset too.
