Children's Ministry

I just spent the last two days in a training retreat for Children Ministry leaders and Pastors.

It was a fabulous experience because the teachers were so engaged...and it covered on of my favorite topics:

Kids.


The most poignant thing I came away with is the reminder that Jesus said His kingdom belongs to the little children. To get to heaven you must become like a child in faith.

See the world with fresh eyes.

Taste the colors of living.

Breath in the scent of innocence.

Dance like there is no reason not to.

Touch everything and pet the animals.

It was a great time of learning.

    Hey Some Chick, the workshop sounds like it was a wonderful experience. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much.

    Call me later today if you have time.

    Love,

    One of the reasons I think you "do" children so well is that you are still so much one yourself. In a good way... :)

    I need to take that sort of time for myself, to experience things like little kids do.

    Thanks for reminding me.

    Sounds amazing... sometimes we are so caught up in our own big people lives we forget to let our children experiance life to the fullest...

    touch, feel, dance, taste, see....

    They seem simple tasks, but if you are running around and trying to keep your head above water these tasks can slow you down and somedays there is just not enough time for all that you need to do...

    Makes you think... and hopefully slow down!!!

    Thanks for the brain strain....
