We were so proud of our children last night! They sat and listened so well to Pastor's challenge. Of course, he used two object lessons! One of which was a helium filled Elmo balloon that was a prize for the best listener! They marched up to get their book awards. They behaved so well during the fellowship time downstairs afterwards. The hard work really does pay off...and we saw evidence of it last night! It was fun to watch them get their ribbons...and Teddy finally got his Cubbie bear for his vest!!!
Just like Pastor's illustration to the parents...we hold tight to our children and teach them and guard them, as they get older, we give them a little more freedom but we still have hold of them...and finally, we let them go and trust that they have learned and will do what God expects of them. Pastor held tight to the balloon, then held it by the string, and finally cut it loose to float to the ceiling. All the kids gasped...I sat there with tears in my eyes...what a picture! Praise the Lord for a good church that stands there to support us in this most important job we have! And a big thank you to the Awana leaders!!!
