I am not a child person. I've always liked the idea of babies and children more then the living and breathing versions. But, to my surprise, I am completely smitten with my Sunday school class. We have some kids that are known for being terrors, but to be honest they're my favorite. I always seem attracted to the under appreciated. They're also at an age where most are still eager to please and don't censor anything they say.
Today we asked the kids to write or draw something they wanted to fast for next month. As each finished they wanted us to look at what they'd done and approve. One handed me his (below) with ink smeared all up his arm. When I saw what he wrote I couldn't help, but laugh.
After 45 minutes of teaching about the fast this is what he wanted to fast for...
Makes me want to belt out some Whitney Houston,
"I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way..."
Teach them well and let them lead the way..."
