Tell me What you think :)

For the past couple of months, i was trained to be a part of the Church "teacher" for young believers...not the youth...but the children at Church.

Since i just started, i tried to familiarized myself with the name of the kids and also tried to familiarized with their attitude. Whew! Each of them are unique.

These are kids aged from 2 years old to 10. So i even see myself a nanny at times. Haha...but it was cool being with this cutie con bratty kids.

Last Sunday, i've asked them about their memory verse. Some don't know anything yet and some knew a lot.

Here are some of the verses the kids mentioned:

*** BENJ - John 10:30 I and the Father are one.

*** JANINE - Ephesians 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

*** SIMON - Romans 8:28 For we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.

*** DAVID - Mark 9:29 He replied, "This kind can come out only by prayer."

*** KAZANDRA - Proverbs 6:6 Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!

*** JOSHUA - Proverbs 20:1 Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise.

Joshua's chosen verse made me stopped for awhile, looking at him, figuring out where the world did he got the idea of choosing it. Oh no, and he said that's the only verse he's very much familiar with. And he is eight (8) years old. Is his father a drunkard? Is he surrounded by drunkards?

I did asked him if he understood the verse. He said "YES", with still the innocence shown on his face.

He said, when he gets older, he will always remember the verse. He doesn't want to lose his dignity by drinking alcohol. Ok, im not gonna faint i promise. Did he just mentioned the word "DIGNITY"?

He is special. At a young age, he knew something that could made him lose his dignity. Liquor are very strong.

From one of the site, i've read that ,

"The "evil spirit of alcoholism"challenges the one drinking the intoxicating drink to do things that person would not even imagine of doing when he is sober. The Bible says "Beer is a brawler"

So this boy got a point.

More to learn from the kids.

God bless us all!!!
