I have been working with the kids in my church for the past 4-5 years... I have never had a more rewarding experience in church in all my life... I also worked with the kids as a teenager in the church I grew up in...
this past sunday, one of the kids I have taught since he was 3 (he is now 5) was baptized... after the baptism service he comes to me and tells me he needs me to meet his family... I smile that he would want me to meet his family... there are 3 pews full of them... and he takes me through the three pews one by one to each person and introduces me to each person and says to them... this is miss sue... she is my children's church teacher... and she is my friend... (probably 30 people...)
my heart was truly blessed by this child on sunday... but not only this sunday... every sunday... and not only this child... all of these kids... they all run to me when they see me... they hug me and tell me they love me... and they mean it... kids accept you as you are... they may not like everything you say or do... but they love you anyways...
at my church the spirit of God resides heavily in the chapel service where the kids are preached to.. I do not believe it has anything to do with preaching or music or any man made idea... the spirit of God resides in the heart of a child and where children are... God is...
many times we feel like no one loves us... or we will never be loved or whatever the issue is with us as a people and our need for love... but I promise you... involve yourself in a children's ministry... you will never be the same and you will find true love....
find a way to be a blessing to a child today...
