Children -- thank God for the joy they bring

This past Sunday six beautiful little girls went to the front of the church during traditional services to hear the children's sermon and then to speed away to take part in Children's Church activities.

Later that day daughter Jessica called and told us that Lily, our three-year-old granddaughter,  had attended Children's Church for the first time at Apex United Methodist Church.  Lily refused to go alone, holding on to her mother throughout.  She didn't seem to pay attention to the stories and refused to take part in crafts and other activities.

Never underestimate a child.  All during the week she excitingly talked about the experience,. referring to the stories she had appeared not to hear and told about crafts and other activities the children  participated  in.

Children never cease to amaze.   Thank God for the joy they bring into our lives.
