One of my guilty pleasures is that I still teach Sunday School to first graders, guilty pleasure because there is no greater joy than other people's kids. It is a fact that I can not truly explain except to say that kids never cease to amaze me in their fresh perspectives.
Our church uses a curriculum that encourages the kids to memorize a bible verse each month and to apply the virtue to their lives. This month's virtue is patience, funny for a woman with six kid's. The word is defined as: waiting for later for something you want now.
The verse is: Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD. Psalm 27.14
One that is bite size for six and seven year olds...really for all our kids to eat. Right?
Last Sunday we were praticing the verse and one little girl said it perfectly.
I asked her "Were do you find it in the Bible?"
Without missing a beat she replied:
"Possum 27.14"
I had to turn away before I peed myself.
I know we live in a small town and all...
I dream in color, write poetry, talk about God, parent kids and finally wonder about it all

ReplyDeletePatience is not my thing. Of course I try, but my guess is those first graders probably do a better job. :) Hope you had a great mother's day! Take care
