Kiddos

     There is an abundance of paintings of Jesus in his ministry from the organization but one of the more endearing ones is the cover of the Learn from the Great Teacher book because it is so realistic. Jesus had the personality that attracted young kids to learn from him but the kids too are there eagerly listening to him.

     Recently I keep observing situations exactly like that with the kids in the illustration. They aren’t ashamed and are eager to see what you share.  They ask amazing, real questions. They get so, so excited with pictures and videos and always want to see more. They remind us to pray before a study and are disappointed when you have to reschedule. They want homework to learn new songs. Their desire is so amazing… These kiddos are spiritually thirsty – often more so than adults.

     Their examples remind me not to negate their rights. To offer the promises of the kingdom to them too. And to follow their example. To not be ashamed and to continually be learning.
