Children Sunday

Today was the annual Children Sunday for the kids of our church. Kids led worship, prayers, offering, drama and songs. I love seeing young people having opportunities to offer their best to God. The most touching moment for me was when all the kids came up singing their special songs. Watching their faces, some fearful, some joyful, some poking another just for fun, but all feeling safe and belonged in a healthy community of God's people - it was one of those "God" moments for me. I sensed a still small voice from within, "this is the reason I called you here."

After the service, the kids were treated with lots of good food and games and candies. One of the kids wrote to me later, "thank you so much for letting us have this day!" But it's not me! I thank God for all the dedicated helpers and teachers. Many have sacrificed long hours and short supply of energy to make this day possible. And the teachers have sacrificed year round to make this community a possibility for the children. Thank you, thank you, and thank you. Your labor of love is truly not in vain.
