Lessons Learned

I love teaching the toddlers! I almost never get to know whether anything I have taught them sinks in, but a few months ago, we had the lesson of Samuel listening to God. Our Bible words were: "Samuel says, 'Speak, Lord, I'm listening." Elijah said his verse perfectly and added, "And Elijah says, 'Speak, Lord, I'm listening' too!"

A few weeks ago, Natalie was telling her dad that she loved him. He asked if she knew what love was. She thought for a moment, then started singing, "Oh, how I love Jesus... because He first loved me."

I think it was Natalie again who, in the middle of read-aloud from a snake book, said, "Oh, no, I don't think I can handle this!" Was it the snakes, or my reading??

Tonight Derrick read his Bible verses all by himself, with a little help figuring out the word "friends."
