Sponges

I teach Sunday School to 2 & 3 year olds.
I teach AWANA to Cubbies, 3-4-5 year olds.

Occasionally I wonder if it makes any difference.  Are they picking anything up at all?
I adore these little sweet peas, but is God accomplishing anything more through me than simply corraling them for an hour or two?  We tell them about Jesus and God, but do they remember?

Yes.  They do.

I met the big sister of one of my "non-church" Cubbies the other night.  She's a bit of a rebel teen, a.k.a. NORMAL.  I asked her if she was K's sister, and told her I taught him in Cubbies and that I just loved him.  She told me that yes, that is her little brother.  "He loves Cubbies.  Its his favorite thing.  He talks about it non-stop and is waiting for the summer break to be over."

"The other day, in the car, my mom said she was allergic to something.  K spoke up from the back seat and said.... I'm not allergic to anything!  And that's okay, because that is exactly how God made me."

Once, when she (big sister) was sick, K told his mom "She will get better.  I will pray for her."

Without Cubbies, K wouldn't know about prayer.  K wouldn't know that God created him EXACTLY as He wanted to.  K wouldn't know that God created him to need those adorable glasses.

I don't know how little K will grow up.  But, I do know that seeds have been planted, and God has given me the gift of being able to see that some have fallen on good ground.  May they take root and GROW! GROW! GROW!
