"Lashes, Come Forth!"

My children humble me. I have taught Sunday School for years. Taught mid week

classes for pre-teens, and always tried to do my best to make the lessons fun and

to get the Word of God into the kids minds and hearts. I have always LOVED teaching. But now that I have my own children in my Sunday school class, I have been humbled into what a responsibility teaching really is. They may only be 3 and 2 1/2 (can't believe my little baby girl will be 3 in 4 short months!!!!!) but they soak up the lesson

s like little sponges. So teaching the right stuff, in the best way I can, has become more important to me. I know that my children have taught me something I will carry into all the classes I teach from here on out. To do my best and to strive to do better. So when I am cutting out 52 "bees" for the "Be-Attitudes" lessons,

(I still have a lot of cutting to do!)

or making 6

giant flowers for the walls in the classroom,

or free handing cars that are driving along the "pathway to goodness" (no picture, sorry)...it is a good work to do, because these little precious minds are worth all the work. What a privilege it is to teach about our Lord and Savior. Especially to children, helping them to grow up in this world with HOPE!

A few weeks ago, our Sunday School lesson was about how Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. I told my mom I would be doing a blog with pics and she has been waiting to see...so here you go mom!! The story pictures showed how Lazarus looked with burial clothes on, so I thought that a good way to help them learn the story would be to act it out!!! I brought my camera!!!

Here is my girl! Ben was not sure about the TP!

So he told sissy to go first so he could watch her do it!!!!

Ben had a hard time saying "Lazarus", but he did his best. He said "LASHES, COME FORTH!"

Then it was Ben's turn. Hannah did not say a word. She pointed, but did not say anything!!!

She did help her brother out of the TP!
